I do like, especially the STI scooby in banner :p perhaps fade image with an evo

I will design the online/offline thing. You want it the same or can I make it blue to go with the theme?

Each pixel on a .gif must be either 100% transparent, or not transparent at all. The only way you can make them not look naff, is by having a background colour on the stars the same colour as the grey behind it. I'll post in a little while showing what I mean.

My 15 mins expired as I was editing that message. Basically, as this is the only dark skin, you would need a whole new set of stars which do have a solid colour background as opposed to a transparent background.

An example:



I had to make those stars from scratch as I don't have the original file (which would be a Photoshop file). Making them again if you had the original file would be incredibly easy though.

actually you could make the current stars have a bright green backround, as long as it goes right to the edge. Then make the green transparent so the rest of the star isnt affected. I will do some later to show what I mean

That is how my stars look close up. See how they fade out towards the edge? That's called anti-aliasing. It smooths the edges of the star. To have a transparent background of ANY type, you have to have no anti-aliasing as it involves semi-transparency. Without anti-aliasing, the graphics will have a jagged look to them.

tbh honest just get ALL NEW images for this skin m8.

'N new stars which work on ALL skins instead of these naff uns.

Wow stop being such a snob.

The skin is fine, it's just the online / offline indicators and the stars etc need changing to match with the skin.
