As promised. Made the background all black instead of the gray it was. Now it wont look boxed in.
Here ya go>>>
On a tutorial I saw it said the background color is the same as the edge of the logo, I haven't tested and I'm sure you have so is that incorrect or have you not tried it?
It picks the color of the top left pixel for the upper and lower colors. So, if you have a picture with shades of blue it will pick the top left pixel and make the whole background OUTSIDE of the 480x182 area that color. So if you have an icon surrounded by a whole bunch of colors it will only pick that color. That's why it looks the best with black or white.
Now...say you have the logo surrounded by one solid color it will make the whole surrounding area that color. Hope that makes sense, lol. It does in my head
Yes I've tried it accidentally when I first started making these. I had issues all over the place. I ussually only make them black or white. If you are editting in Frhed, black=00 and white=ff.
