hi ... civ3 "translate" the pink background to transparent ... but the google maps api don't ... we must use pngs with a transparent layer in background ... i used GIMP with your image to add a "alpha channel", and "delete" the pink area ... but it isn't easy to change the differents tones of pink (shadows, borders ... let's see the last image that i was sent you). can you send me the images with a background transparent layer??. does the tool that you use to draw allow it? http://forums.techarena.in/customize-desktop/1152621.htm Date: Sun, 14 Jun 2009 12:07:55 -0700 From: rumikhayyam@xxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [tsj-developers] Re: hi ... To: nanotod@xxxxxxx Not sure what you mean by transparent with shadow. The Civ3-style PNG icon file isn't the correct format? _________________________________________________________________ Chatea sin límites en Messenger con la tarifa plana de Orange http://serviciosmoviles.es.msn.com/messenger/orange.aspx
