the trick is to have the image saved always with full alpha and transparency (AND in xcf format). Then all you have to do is to have one layer with foreground (for example an icon or a button) and another layer under it filled with background color. Make sure that your foreground is well adapted to any background color. Then when you want to save your final image you save it in another file and perform the indexing operation and give it a transparent color. -- -------------------- LEGENY Jozef _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
