BGK, you know any other, better way to deal with this? transparancy issues got me worked up once before...

nice works, I sure like the grunge feel it has.

there are a few other ways to achieve transparency. the most obvious is saving as the .gif format, which should be used when you have defined edges. for instance, a gif would be fine for this one if it was just a series of squares, but the blurred edge of the shadow might make a gif look pixelated along the edges.

the other way i know of is saving as a .png file. not too familiar with this because i don't use it often myself. people use this a lot for the "popout" style sigs because edges don't become pixelated. the problem here, however, is that while firefox may show these images with perfect transparency, IE will show a colored box behind the image which ruins the whole effect. i'm still not sure why this occurs, but anyways, those are the two ways i know of other than the old eye dropper and paintbucket trick.
