I save the files as a .gif so I can get transparency!

.gif supplies transparency :pir-oh3:?! But how do I get it off Paint and on to my Brickshelf with it still being transparent?

Okay here's my first entry:

1) fallentomato1.gif Monkey! I'm sort of surprised there wasn't already a monkey, every pirate needs a monkey. For when you are feeling mischievous (or helpful, depending on the monkey I guess). fallentomato1.gif

2) fallentomato2.gif Squawk! Are you noticing a pattern with my entries? :pir-wink:

3) fallentomato3.gif I think of this as a happy shark. The pirate animal smiley trilogy is now complete! I guess the crocodile is also a pirate animal, but I think I've spent enough of my morning on this already. :pir-tongue:

I vote for you, since you took all my ideas (monkey and parrot smileys). :pir-classic:

Should I mention that the sample for this 35x20 contest is 21 pixels tall, as are most of our official icons? :pir-tongue::pir-laugh:

Good point :pir-tongue:.

Frankly, it ticks me off that you give a blank head that's more than 20 pixels tall, as IS has said. In fact, I have a really good custom that is just more than 20, and I'm upset that I can't use it. Are you sure you don't mean 35 pixels tall instead of 20?

Begun, the Smiley Wars have.

Sorry. Had to say it.

Staudie.

We're sorry too. :pir-hmpf_bad:

Now go make an emoticon. You could make a little ImperialShadows. :jollyroger:

Yes, I am the same. Hopefully we will be allowed to use them...

I think that everything should be allowed to be as tall as Yoda with his pirate hat(:pir_yoda:). Besides, everyone is breaking the rules- some people are using the 21 pixel blank head, which shouldn't be allowed :pir-tongue:.

Most of the Pirate smileys are 20 or 21 pixels tall so the blank smiley is the same size. Any bigger and the smiley will interfere with the line height of the text.

If the smiley is exceptionally good then you might be able to get away with adding 1 or 2 extra pixels, but I'd strongly advise to stay within the limits otherwise the smiley won't be selected if it is likely to cause display issues.

Ive made my Smiley Transparent but White isnt showing up. How do I get it to show?

You need to change the background colour to off white and set transparency on that colour.

So if it's exeptionally good you'd be able to get away with a 23 pixel? Or one the size of :pir_yoda:?

Only if it's exceptionally good... Don't go any larger unless you really have to.

Not so much related to the subject matter, but this topic just took me 20 minutes to open up! Everything else on the computer was working fine during the time, so I don't think it was my computer... Anyone know why? :pir_wacko:

How many attempts did you make to load this topic? If it was just the once then I wouldn't worry about it, but if you receive continuous bad performance then there might be problem.

Fortunately it was working today, but yesterday I tried opening it about 7 times within those 20 minutes, none of them worked, and I didn't have much going on in the background. Every other topic I looked at on Eurobricks at the same time was working... :pir_wacko: Also, once I had made that last post, it took ages until the page had loaded up again. At least it's fine now. :pir-wink:

Just added another (and probably last) entry.

It's a cannon! I'm a bit happy with it, though I think I would need to shorten the barrel and fix the wheels at the base :pir-look::pir-classic:

The 10th is on a Sunday :pir-look:
