mamewah layout images question
« on: April 03, 2008, 01:14:15 pm »
Is there a way to have an image that is not square / rectangle? For instance, I have an image of Mario with no background (shown as transparent in Photoshop) as art1.jpg.  When it is displayed under Mamewah it still has white rectangular background around Mario.  I want it to appear with nothing but the Mario character. Thanks.

Wrong forum, should probably go in Sotware forum. But as for your question, jpg format does not keep transparency. Try saving it as a .gif file. I don't know if Mamewah will display it properly, but that's the format you will need to use if it does.
