Strange, so IE isn't able to display transparency in PNG? Interesting.
Looks fine in Firebird by the way, cool avatar.

I would use the EDIT button but it won't bump the thread.

Hey, I just noticed some other things about Opera...
> There is a Next Thread button (or Shift+X) that goes to the next newest thread in a forum.
> If you right-click highlighted text (or double-click on a word) on a page it brings up a menu that looks up the text/word in a dictionary, encyclopedia, translator, or even a search engine (defaults to Google).
> It has built-in skin support.
> The interface is more easily customized than Internet Explorer.
> You can zoom in on the page.
> You can make the page look like how it would on a PDA (by pressing Shift+F11).
> You can use mouse gestures for quickly doing all kinds of operations.
... and that's just several things I've notice in the hour or so that I've been using Opera. I'd better read the documentation to see what else it can do.
Opera easily makes Internet Explorer its bitch.

Farvid, cool av. Just wondering how you made it. I know how to use Paint Shop Pro pretty good, but these alpha channels things screw with me. Can you tell me how you made it?

You can add transparency to images in many ways...
I usually start with two layers (so I can see exactly what it will look like on different colors). The background layer is what you will see through the transparent parts of the top layer.
From there you can add transparency to the top layer by either making a greyscale image to apply as an alpha mask or just using the erasor (with less than 100% strength). The latter is easier.
After you're done just delete the background layer and save the image into a format that support transparency.

shuzer, the only advert in opera is one banner add in the top right, and i dont even notice it. in my personal experience, i have found oper to be a much better browser.

I sounded a little biased in my post.. my bad Anyhow, I tried opera after I DLed Firebird, I didn't like it so I stuck with Firebird.

My avatar is just a GIF. I took the two different colors of the backgrounds on this forum, found the average of the two, faded from green to the resulting color, then made the rest 100% transparent. It's the closest you can get with IE.
