SS Icon

[rootbear75]

Im looking for a standard picture of the SS Icon, preferable in a lossless format (such as bmp, upload it as a .zip/.rar file)

i just want the icon, on a plain solid black background

 

all of the ones ive tried to do turn out looking wrong....

thanks, but unfortunately, i need one with a solid background.

Those ones have a transparent layer. I cant use it if it has a transparent layer

I copied this one from a project I was working on, no idea where I got it from originally.

You know if it's transparent you can just paste it onto a black image.

no, because pasting it would still keep the transparancy layer..

only thing i could have done was screenshot it and paste it into paint

[🜲 PoLiX]

You could merge the layers...

[rootbear75]

how do i do that?

im not a gfx person, so using photelements/photoshop is alien to me

layers>flatten image

thx hakaku

 

 

im trying to upload it as an icon, i converted it to a .gif using paint (open the .png then save as... *.gif)

and it still says i cant use it cause it has a transparent background

 

imma try copying and pasting using a screenshot

 

EDIT: Wtf! even doing that way says it has a transparent background? anyone know why it wont work??

Saving as .gif works for me. Not really nice though.

Saving in Photoshop would certainly generate better results.

If you don't want to flatten the image, or merge all layers just hold ctrl and click on the layers you want, and then right click on one of the selected and merge them. That or you can link layers, and merge linked layers later on to flatten only some of the layers you want. All depends on what your doing on what methods you want and all.

all the pictures ive tried (all the pictures on this page too..), i keep getting this:

That basically means the site is kaput because most of the images here doesn't contain a single transparent pixel.

try saving as gif version 87, not gif version 89.

 

If you want to know what version a gif is in, open it in a text / hex editor and look at the first 5 characters.

[Hakaku]

Here's two differently compiled .gif files, though they're both 89a. (paint sucks at converting, so I don't recommend it)

Anyhow, can't you use another file format other than .gif? Is it suppose to be animated? What's wrong with png, or jpg? And are you sure you aren't doing something else wrong?

[rootbear75]

uh nope, they only allow gifs.. i dont know why

 

how do i change the version?

 

EDIT:

that second one worked. thanks hakaku

how did u compile it?

Edited October 13, 2007 by rootbear75

[Hakaku]

The first one was compiled using FastStone Image Viewer from the original .png file, the second one was re-compiled from the first one using Gypsee Pro. There's a slight difference if you hex edit the two files, but other than that, the difference is the second one is a program designed for animated .GIFs

you guys are probly overthinking this.. it cant this hard to make a non-transparent immage

thats not the point. the point was that it wouldnt let me upload an image which "supposedly" had no transparent pixels

[🜲 Samapico]

I checked the 2 files attached by Hakaku... the first one had transparency set to palette entry 255. So even if there was not a single pixel using that value, it was still a 'transparent' gif

Paint shop pro works well for gifs...

ah... k
