GIF Transparency? (quick help)
I need this image as a transparent .GIF
http://themarque.org/wp-content/them.../img/title.gif
So it will be transparent in IE.
Its driving me crazy.
I have downloaded so many programs and either the program doesnt work...is stupid...or it is so confusing to figure out how to work...just to create transparency.
Thanks.

I think this will come out way too light, but if you tell me what the font is (and I have it), I can easily re-make it for you.

edit: Yeah, that is totally butchered

Cant you just take the image I have and make the background transparent?
Or...if that doesnt work just take a screenshot of it.
Fonttype is "taul paul"

Oh, and btw, I just used the 'select contiguous regions' wand, selected all the text, went to select -> invert, and then I simply used the cut command.

So annoying

I still don't like the way it chopped it, though it did a far superior job to what I used

Yea..heh...I figured that out.
Bad thing is, my computer was custom built by this guy in town..so there is no manual.

And I've never heard of HyperThreading..and google isnt helping.
