Why a green background?
« on: April 19, 2008, 09:12:12 AM »
A simple question.

I wanna use generated charset, but I can't understand why the downloaded PNG image has a green background, not transparent.

Thanks!

When you import the charset it pops up in another box before you confirm the choice. When that box comes up, click on the background so that it flashes. The background will then be transparent.

Thanks for replying. I think I need to read more. In facts I'm only using the online charas generator. I only need images download from the web and nothing more.
So what I'm asking if is possible to get transparent PNG directly from web download, not using some other software... or maybe I don't get you aswer!

Thanks again

RPG Maker 2003 only uses 8-bit color, meaning that any PNG in that format can use up to 256 colors. The colors themselves can be anything, but you can only have 256 of them.

On the other hand, a 24- or 32-bit PNG file can have as many colors as you want. Additionally, instead of having three selectors for Red, Blue and Green, you have an additional fourth selector called Alpha, which allows you to change the transparency.

RPG Maker XP uses the latter format, while 2003 only uses the former. So, to get a transparent color in 2003, when you use the Import option to bring in a character set, face set or any other image, you'll have to double-click the background color (usually green).
