Re: GIF's for Buttons - Why? (Was: Photoshop colors)

IMO you should use whatever has the smaller file size, completes the effect
you want, and gives the better presentation. Namely;

If you have a complex background image and you want the button to appear
directly on top of it use a transparant gif, if you have a plain background
with a complex coloured button then try a gif and jpeg version and see which
is better.

IMO saving all your Nav buttons as Gifs and all your pretty pictures as
Jpegs is a bad habit audition the two types and see how both of them look
then make a decision.
