Creating My Backrounds - Off-topic

Now and again i like a change in the backround of my blueangel, i would like to make some decent images myself but i am no image making expert.
What i would like to know is when i place a logo on a backround i have a white area around the icon which rounds it off to make a square image does anyone know how i make the white area around the icon disappear so it sits on top of the backround with just the icon no white edges around the icon.

Confused.
Are you saying that you have icons on your Today's plugin that, when you are creating these icons, instead of having transparent background, you are getting a white background?

Yeah thats right also does anybody know the correct image format that iLauncher accepts for changing icons e.g my message icon with the paper sticking out change to >>> outlook icon.
Thanks.

A very noob question

If your using Manila 2D and you use the bar at the bottom to navigate away from the home screen, the pic that I made as my backround dissapears. Is there a way to fix this, or tell me how to change them without changing my whole theme. I have already added a clock I really like, and neon icons. I just want to change the backrounds in places other than the home screen and maybe change the color or style or the bar itself.

[Theme] KewlGrey Customized Xen Remake

I had a hard time finding a theme I wanted and didn't have the time to make my own, all I was wanting was a special status bar that was partially transparent. So heres what its come down to, I used the KewlGrey Theme and mixed it with the Stock DE03 Theme. Added in KewlGrey Status Bar, Status Backround, Different Font, and last but not least the Color of the Notification when you touch it.
EDIT: The forum will not allow me to post the image URLs and the ZIP for the theme is to large to be uploaded in the manager
EDIT2: Managed to upload the pics but cant get the theme up yet due to Newbie restrictions
The fact that the notification-bar icons are actually larger than the grey background bar makes it look rather messy.
Also the date (when the notification bar is pulled down) has a different grey background as well.
I think you should sort these things out first, to be honest

Black'UPS icons

Last night i searched and collected bunch of black'ups icons, all icons are in png, and 64x64, and this pack contains 894 icons.
I spent a little while searching for these last night as well. I found a page when you can just right click save the icons.

great but i don't like this icons with black corner
Hmm, they didnt show up like that on my phone.
They are made baddly
If you take a look closely on the site the icons under the title;
AppStore icons all have a black border. This usually happens when someone takes an icon and tries to create a template from it, forgetting to make the background transparent or not knowing how to make the icon sit inside a transparent boarder.
It's easily fixed if you know how and the original dimensions of the icon.
Other than that they are nice looking icons.
Great Icons....

Cool way of theming

I dont think ive seen this mentioned or done around here but i could be wrong....
So i was messing with photoshop and it popped in my head that i could turn some of the icons into photoshop brushes (kinda like stamps). This will allow me to make them different colors and use them with transparent icons. So i made some of these Corue icons into brushes and came up with this lil theme.
Now, can anyone tell me how i get a true transparent icon image? As you can see on the picture.. the transparent icons i have arent so transparent...
And im going to crop the top part of this wallpaper.

Custom Icon Background Transparency Problem

Hey all,
Hope you can provide some assistance. I got an all-white icon set, and modified a few .pngs in Photoshop to add color to match my theme. Backgrounds were transparent, displayed transparent in Photoshop, still opened as transparent after I exported them for web as png-24s with transparency preserved. However, as soon as I drag the icons over to the root of my storage card, my phone (HTC One) displays the once transparent backgrounds as black. What gives? I've tried using Photoshop 7, Photoshop CS6, and GIMP with the same results. I'm I missing something?
