I Got this message:
------------------------------------------
REASON: Please make sure backgrounds are transparent or serve a purpose -- don't just post a white background unless it fits. If you need help making a background transparent please refer to the http://www.pixeljoint.com/pixels/faqs.asp#faq1287 - FAQ . Be careful with PNG transparency!
-----------------------------------
1) Can i just put any other colors than white as a background?
2) If not. Do i only have the choice between adding a good background or make the background transparent?
Im newbish in this...
I have never used Photoshop. I do only use MS Paint.
(Im not angry. I just want some answers.

When the BG makes no sense or is otherwise pointless PJ likes it removed. Many members use different color themes and BGs can be distracting. To make transparent, make anything to be transparent a color not used anywhere on the art. (0, 255, 0) is good. The go to www.iaza.com, load your creation under 'transparent BG touch the color to be transparent and click OK then save to your HD, then upload to PJ or your local museum ;) ------------- |
