Well, transparent would be transparent in-game :P

Ha ha, yeah, I figured that. I was wondering if the gray in the preview will be the same shade of gray in a game or if both grays will end up looking the same when used in-game.

I do sprites and stuff, so yeah.

Oh, I see. I'd assume in-game gray would be lighter than the one used in the sprite on the left and lighter than the one on the right.

Ah, alright, that definitely clears things up, in which case I'd much rather have the one on the left because a lighter transparency layer is much easier to work with than a dark one.

It can get kinda hard to differentiate between white and transparency in that case. It's more important to tell the difference between them than between white and gray because you sometimes don't notice the small difference between white and transparency.

6-7, damn, this is making it hard to decide :o I think I'll probably just add support for both display modes and let the user choose which mode they want to use on a sprite-by-sprite basis. However, it would be nice if were the vote were leaning a bit one way so I can at least choose a default display mode.

lol, 7-7 now, although I like support for both modes, sounds like a plan.  ;)

Maybe you could flash all the transparent blocks on and off? It doesn't take much code.

I could see that getting somewhat distracting and difficult to use. :P
I like the idea of being able to choose which mode to use :)

This was tough...I chose the one on the right mainly because it made the sprites look more like they actually are. But then again the grays wont be the same shade color as in the preview so it really could go either way.

Good point. So basically this vote is now on the default...
