How to post a sprite that will fit the theme? - Hero destroyer - 02-27-2012

Still don't get what I mean?
I don't know how to post a sprite that will change according to the theme.
Example:
BP put red theme, I put black theme, MH put blue theme. The sprite will appear like this:
For BP: The layer is red.
For me: The layer is black.
For MH: The layer is blue.

An example is like the second picture below.

can't (easily), s'why people usually post their sprite on both a black/dark bg and a white/light bg (and sometimes transparent).
that's the short answer

make the pic a png or gif and remove the background. What you are asking about is transparency.

example:
my recent sprite:

@Phil: that face is somehow creeping me out xD

You cannot upload images whose background changes with the theme. The only possible solution would be to program something in a server-sided language (php, perl, and the like) that'll parse the currently used theme and adjust the background accordingly. But that is pretty awkward :p

That's why it's usually enough to just pick pre-defined stuff. I personally like to put a sprite on a complementary colored background and on a transparent. Simply because a black BG might take away details if you tend to work with darker values. And white gives makes the contrast between sprite and background too strong to pay attention to the details :p
