Thread: .Png Borders?

    Default .Png Borders?

    Now, listen up! I've been seeing a few land lubbers recently who've been putting borders around their .png avatars - why?! Why not keep it simple like mine and have a transparent background? Is it the new fad?

    Because they prefer it with a border...?

    It looks, in my opinion, a little silly.

    Still. Do you like guys like it? It seems to be a fad which spoils graphic design.

    I think if the avatar doesn't border the corners, it's ugly.

    It can make the picture batter or worse. It all depends on the picture.

    yeah it depends on the picture, i think with mine the border makes it look more distintive, yet with a portrate like yours it looks better without, plus i can find, especially if the shoulder gets cut off or something that a border cleans it up

    I usually don't like borders on ones that are transperant. I really don't see the point but I do have borders on the full ones.
