Avatar question (little picture, not motion picture)

[steamthief]

My current avatar is my family crest, which I like, but I'd like to alter it so the white background is the same bluish color as the rest of the webpage header. Can anybody walk me through how to do that? I'm bored.....

Open you avatar image in whichever program you use to edit photos. Or even paint. Use the 'sample color' (not sure what its called) tool and use it on the TB background. Now use the 'fill' tool to fill your background with said color.

Very helpful, thank you very much!

No problem. I found it easier to actually do myself than try and explain it sufficiently.

works great, notice my "dave" signature. it was done exactly that way.

here are the numbers i use:

r- 245
g- 245
b- 255

Well, I still couldn't figure out how to fill the color in to my avatar myself, so I copied the one MM attached and loaded it that way. Thanks for the assist!

Where's the best place to find a Luddite avatar?
