Ok I'll try to explain. It depends on the software you are using. I assume you are using Adobe Photoshop in this message.
- Go to 'File' menu and select 'New...'. A window will now appear.
- Here you can change the name, size resolution and some more.
- Search for 'Background Contents:' and make sure this option is set to ''Transparent' instead of 'White'.

Hopefully this helped you a bit!

Though you will still need to save it as as .png file instead of a .jpg.

When saving your file, there is a drop down menu called "format".  There you should choose the PNG (*.PNG) option.  GIF also saves transparency, but it will make your image look pixelated if you do not set the background color (matte) from the saving options.

Best bet would be a .png file.

Hope that helped as well

Yup that is definitely true. It is argued to only use .jpg for photographs.

How bout now??? But still dont know how to work with the letters. Thanx!!!

Ah that is better.  

Though you may want to increase the canvas size so it does not cut of small pieces of the edges.  The very bottom of it has just a tiny bit cut off.

MUCH better for sure!

please tell me how to upload signature, when i go to edit signature there is no option for upload so how to upload sig

You'll have to upload your signature on an image upload server (or your own server). Just search for 'image host' on Google. Welcome to CrystalXP and enjoy your time here! Please read the rules as soon as possible as well.

thanks 4 the help man.

i've got two renditions of them... thoughts on my own variation of it?

and the customized one, i added an extra layer to darken the center and add a bit of gloss over it. thoughts?

and of course, me and the red thing goes much beter than blue ;-)

Very nice pironic I like the second one more

sweet thanks, im kinda new so dont blame  me if i dont get this:

during the first ctrl d step it doesent do anything

is it to do with the fact that i have cs3?

Ctrl + D will deselect, if you followed the tutorial right, you would have a selection at that point. In step two you have to choose for the round selection tool. Now you have to fill the selection with black (I believe Shift + Backspace helps you with this). Once you've done that, you use Ctrl + D to deselect. Welcome to CrystalXP and I hope that this has helped you a bit!

pironic, pretty cool! Adding your own variations is often the best way to improve.

SIGNATURE is still not working, i've uploaded it on windowslive skydrive. Please tell a better image host. thanks in advance

ImageShack.uk is pretty popular.

I've made many of these but....how can I use them as an icon for windows?!?!?

I just wanted to say thanks for this great tutorial and this great site!

The hospitality on this site is much appreciated by me and I am sure a lot others.

Welcome to CrXP Diamond , this site has got plenty of tutorials but the number of French ones is greater than that of English , but the English section too has a bunch of them to teach and to help I hope you will enjoy your stay here
