Transparent
GIF v1.0 -- Win9x/Me
Transparent GIF is a small tool to allow you to mark a color as being
"transparent" in a GIF image. Any nominated color then becomes "transparent"
and allows the background to show through. This can remove the background
from an image so that it appears to float on the page. Transparent GIF
will allow you to remove a transparent color if it has already been set
or to change a transparent color. The interface is a little awkward --
you have to nominate the image file to be converted and then the name of
the new file being created -- but there are plenty of simple directions
and it really isn't hard. Probably its biggest downfall is that there isn't
a preview of the image with the selected color. Some images have so many
similar colors that it is hard to know exactly which one to select
as the "transparent" color. Overall, this is a great little tool
to have on hand and one well worth grabbing. Access this 156kB download
