Well I could have if I still had it, when I went to post it I found I had saved the resized image over the hoooge one , anyway I found a similar picture and made it again, the size may vary slightly.

Nice!

was browsing through some font sites and for anyone that cares or wanted to know the font used in the Msfn logo is Battlefield.ttf

Lets hope hakeem5454 is still subscribed to this topic, he was the one who wanted to know.

ok im getting jealous now, now its time to work on mine and demo it lol

Can you please recommend anywhere that this font (battlefield.ttf) is available from

Might use it myself since its so cool

@bmn

@benners im having trouble getting my image to go transparent as a bmp using your pink method lol

and im following it to a T

any ideals

heres my after image and its not transparent,,, this was just a dry test and ill keep trying but any help would be appreciated as usual

i fixed my image, i figured out where i went wrong grr now i feel bad lol

any ways heres a finished image

This is wierd, I hve been messing since your last post and still cannot get the full picture to be transparent, I can select half of the picture and it is transparent but when adding the other half the pink is no longer transparent
I will continue and let you know my results, it is probably something obvious but I cannot think what.

Well I have lost the use of my eyes but I have managed to do it. In the attached file are 2 bmps, one has a pink (transparent) line and the other doesn't, the one with the line shows as transparent and the other shows the pink background, go figure

Because of the tree shapes instead of cutting out I used the background eraser tool and went as close as I dared to the picture, then after saving the image as described in a previous post, manually went around the image with a brush of 1 pixel size and painted over all the odd pixels that were not tranparent with the pink colour whilst constantly saving the bmp and checking the look of it on the system properties page.

Files Here try for yourself and see if you get the same problems I did.

thanks benners looks good

if u want to use transparency then u have to make sure the image is in 256 colour and use magic pink. if however u want to use more colours then u will have to make a 24-bit bitmap with 8bit alpha channel for the transparency. which is a pain in the a** todo if u dont have photoshop.

EDIT: Here is another cool site for fonts http://www.webpagepublicity.com/
