Added smilies.

I noticed that three of the added smilies have these white spots and look not as good as the others when placed against a colored background. I did fix them up, but there's a problem.



They may not look animated, but there are definitely multiple pictures packed into those files if downloaded. But, anyway, when I tried to make them transparent and animated at http://www.gifworks.com/, they didn't animate quite the same as the original ones here.
:yes
:bang
:cry2
Can someone here make them transparent and fix them up where they animated at them same speed as the other versions used on this board so that they can make suitable replacements?

That's not a big deal.  I think someone already tried to fix those as well and they couldn't get the white to go away.  Tim might know who it was.

The white's gone and I can bring them to transparent animation with http://www.gifworks.com/, but I would like someone who could animate them like the originals.

I tried to fix them up, and I DID fix them, but three magically disappeared, I can send them to ya, but you're never on msn :p

I know I did all of them because "harhar" was the most irritating (time consuming) or maybe doh was... bah, it was a bit ago




I also made these

I don't. :DD Actually, can you animate my versions the same way you did those? I think that that would be the best thing right now.

fireworks or imageready can do it if you have either of those programs manny.

Also, on those smilies you posted that were the originals, I don't see any white background.  Are you using IE 6?  It doesn't have the support for the second generation gifs and png's.

The originals don't have white backgrounds, just rough white edges on the outside that make them not look too good on a normal background.

I don't have either of those programs, but I posted some fixed GIFs that just need to be made transparent and animated like the original ones. They're already animated, but they don't loop. I'm sure someone here could fix that, though, possibly you.

The white edges of the originals are clearly visible on the screenshot you posted.

I thought that was part of the image.

Well, yeah, but I wanted to share those smilies on another site, but not before "preparing them" properly. If someone could do the rest, or show me how to do it, that would be great.

tails already did it for you on top.
Yeah, but I want them to match up with the rest, and those don't exactly look right....

If you can do it, then just download my first set of edits, make them transparent and animate them to match up with the rest. If you can't, then I'll download a program or learn how to do it myself and see what I can get cooking. Sometimes, I like a little image editing....

Holy crap!  Individual pixel selection!  That was a pain in the you know what.  Here's my end result.  I don't wanna do any more though unless you like it:




You can't animate a non animated image BTW.  Not without a lot of effort.  A LOT.  I just used the originals.  Hope ya like them! :D

well, I am pretty good with gif animations myself, but I don't have my copy of fireworks CS3 handy right now and I had to use a cheap crap program (easy gif animator (which is anything but easy)) <_<
