Yeah, but that would mean a darker gray is used for transparency, which might not look good in many situations. I vote left...
EDIT: Maybe you could post more examples? If we were to vote based on how it looks, the sprite on the right definitely looks better.
I personally like the left one better, but what about a transparent background that animated? Like some scrolling light grey diagonal lines to show through the sprite to make everything more noticeable?

I think Builderboy's suggestion for scrolling lines is the best. :)
Well, transparent would be transparent in-game :PHa 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.
EDIT: Darn, can't change my vote. Is voting closed, or are we not allowed to switch?
Fixed.

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.
/\dittoed/me is FAST ;D
(hmm... 6 to 6)
EDIT: deep thought keeps jumping in front of me :P
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.
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 :)
Why not just have white be transparent? Then light gray would be white, dark gray would be gray, and black would be black.
I was thinking something like this and get the best of all worlds :D
Of course this might be a bit big, but i think the animating transparency is the way to go. You could have a flashing light grey maybe, or a rolling light grey by pixel for example
Voted the left. To me, it makes sense for something transparent to be a light color.

I think for the filesystem, transparency isn't necessarily a must for display, and it would probably look best without. Since the user already knows the 'page' of the filesystem is white, having a different color represent transparency makes it seem like there is actually something there.
Lol nice one Deep Thought x.x, although if someone really said that in a political context it might sound a bit racist :P. I lol'ed, though, at how much different the meaning would be, if taken out of context ;D
@Runer112 how is it progressing btw? :)
are you still going to implement both? or which ever one wins? it's really close though, it'll probably end up being your choice. ;)

I've already implemented both, the user could choose which one looks best on a sprite-by-sprite basis.
ah, ok, cool.
this is going to great for oncalc spriting

...and the default choice? :D
That's good to hear. I also hope your other extremly massive project is still progressing a bit. :D
Ah ok I see :PCalc84maniac of f-zero? :P
I'll have to see about making a pink nickname usergroup for people who don't work enough on certain projects. ;D
Ah ok I see :PWhich probably means I'll have one then. :P

Nice to see this being updated. I still use the old one all the time
I wonder if this is stiUm, missing part of your sentence here? :P
He may be, but I think it's easy enough to figure out what he was tryiI wonder if this is stiUm, missing part of your sentence here? :P
