Re: Transparent GIFs

A halo around a transparent gif is generally caused by the background
of the gif you select as the transparent colour.... I'm not explaining
this very well...

Imagine you have a graphic and you want transparency with it. It is
eventually to be used on a page with a blue background. Make the
original graphic on a blue background, and chose that blue as the
transparent colour.

Still not too well explained, but I hope you get the idea.
