I did it the lazy way myself. Instead of assigning the transparent part a color in a proper image editing software, I just used the "fill" function in mspaint. Assigning the transparent section color would work better because there won't be any whites between or around the hairs, which is blatantly obvious in a larger view of the one I posted. Anyways, looks good @ avatar size.

hehe yea. Hardly noticeable at that size and better than white anytime.

It still looks ugly for those of us using the Black Stealth skin. :P
Re: Silly query about avatar
It only depends on how much you like AbyBeats, anon. Would you be willing to change the skin back to FST to enjoy the seemless integration of avatar to page? Is it seemless, seem less, or seamless?
Re: Silly query about avatar
Seamless. Also, the problem is FST reuploads the avatars into another format and between png and gif conversion the transparency is lost. It's difficult to get a gif transparent and pretty (especially because of its color palette limitations) but there's ways around that issue. Pretty sure you can find a guide for it.

It won't convert them if you upload one that conforms to the required specs: 125 by 125 pixels or 175.0 KB

Every time someone on a forum changes their name, I call them by their previous one. It's just easier for me. :)
