I don't need PSD's. Just the icons and empty sample buttons. Let me know if I can help you.

OK, thanks, andrea. :) Do you know how Pig Latin works?

No I don't know Pig Latin. What is that?

Here's some pig latin:

Erehay is omesay igpay atinlay.

Basically, you take the everything before the first vowel of a word, move it to the end, and put "ay" at the end.

Aha. So every language would have her own "pig latin"...

I wonder if the adding the "ay" sound works in languages other than English?

Unknown, Pig Latin (I have been told by many people) is taking the first letter and moving it to the back and adding ay.

And the 'is', why isn't it isay, or like <? Piranha($fx);?> says: siay?

Is is siay.

A would simply be ay. It's more complicated than it looks.

T'siay oremay omplicatedcay hantay tiay ookslay.

I should rather say:

Tiay ookslay oremay omplicatedcay hantay tiay siay. :P

No, it's the first consonants.  There are different "dialects" - I think in the main one, you do add "ay" to short words... not the one I learned.

Some add "way" to short words, making "is" into "isway".

"Ancedadvay Earchsay" - see how it is not just the first letter? ("Advanced Search")

Um, why are we talking about Pig Latin? This is 'Graphics/Templates'! ???

We're talking about dialects to use on Pig Latin SMF buttons. :P

Good question Peter, when I splitted the thread it looked like Piranha needed some graphic help for creating psd's, transparency etc... But then this thread developed into a discussion about pig latin.

Another thread move? This time into chitchat?

Hey, my question wasn't answered! How to make transparent PNGs?

FWIW, IE already renders 4 and 8 bit transparent PNGs correctly and there's a well-known hack for alpha transparency if you really need it at http://www.alistapart.com/articles/pngopacity/! :)

Hey, bostasp...

Seeing this thread has already spent some time on trivia (ie the finer points of Pig Latin) and a little more shouldn't tilt the balance too far towards all-out inanity/insanity (take your pick!), what have yu done to my 'o'? ::)
