I managed to get all of the default Word Press smilies remade yesterday. They have had quite a few tweaks and there have been improvements made to the position of their eyes and the cheeky, idea and cool smilies. There have also been four new editions :L, , ) and B. There are now 30 smilies in total

All that remains to be done is to add animations to them, they are however perfectly usable as they are.

The smilies can be seen HERE

Animation and the Gimp aren't fun, having said that animation and Photoshop on Wine isn't either

scream Location: Joined: 03/05/05	I don't see the problem with Smilies and GIMP, it's only renaming layers. I never managed to do animations with Photoshop, as I couldn't find an introduction and didn't get through on how to make it there, so I just stuck to GIMP and it's alright (ok, to be sincere, I didn't really try hard with Photoshop as I don't like to boot Windows just for one program).

Chris Location: West Midlands, UK Joined: 24/03/05	Fast reply Well the problem I had with the GIMP is that I couldn't find a way to make GIF's have more than one transparent colour and I found the whole animation thing rather confusing. With Photoshop I know what I'm doing so I find it easy. Perhaps I should give the GIMP another go. I blame Inkscape for not having an export frames function otherwise the animations would be done by now

scream Location: Joined: 03/05/05	Well, I admit it could be easier than renaming layers, but I don't see your problem with transparent colours. Perhaps you used GAP for your animations, well let me tell you that it's completely wrong for smiley animations . If you want to give it another try, download the newest GIMP version (just to make sure you're not using

scream Location: Joined: 03/05/05	Lol, you have a limit of characters in your comment script. And double-posting ends up in an empty post. What do you mean by defining multiple transparency indexes? GIF has a 256th color, the transparency. It doesn't define a color to be transparent. But therefore there is only this color that is transparent, and there cannot be any semitransparent areas. It's a problem with GIF, not with GIMP.

Chris Location: West Midlands, UK Joined: 24/03/05	I understand how GIF works, perhaps I didn't explain it well enough. Phoshop allows you to pick more than on colour to be transparent. AFAIK GIMP does not
