Some little gifs...

See if you like these ones:

Well, not a great work... I forgot the exclamation signs, and I've changed the font because I wasn't able to reproduce the existing one. If you think they don't fit well for the purpose, I'll make a new set. They are my creation, so use them with no "copyright" problem ;)

thanks!
but the real image looks like this:

If it's no problem for you, could you then create an image in exactly the same style with this text: 'Updated!' (with an exlamation mark) and yes, with a green background?

okay I hope I don't seem a person who gets one finger and takes the whole hand (not sure if this is an expression in English as well, but you will understand its meaning) now. :D

hey, and updates never contain old files, so old is a bit useless... :D

Here you are, it's not the same font, and I fear that I have mistaken the height... just made the corresponding "new" ones, also made one with an animation... it's nice to make such small gifs, I've found something to do when I'm really tired to do any longer task ;)

By the way, the "old" image is useless only if you plan to delete the old versions, and this is not mandatory. Sometimes it's even useful, to keep the old versions.

PS: We have that speech also in Italy, we usually say "Ask for a hand and take the whole arm".

Of course it was not a problem, I just thought that sans-serif, capital letters were most readable. Anyway, it's up to you the choice ;)

Somebody please split these posts and move them somewhere else, I've edited my first post with the images to make it easier.

Thank you Holger, it was way too off topic to be left there ;)

Martijn, take a look above, there is new stuff ;)
Again, feel free to ask if you need some change. The new "New!" is a bit smaller than the original, but it matches the font of "Updated!".

Side note: actually, that image on your site has an irregular margin, which pulls it below the base-line of the text... is it intended to be so? I think it would be better if it were aligned.
Anyway, by the way, have fun!

thank you! especially the last, animated one. Could you also create an animated 'new' image for me?

About the alignment: they are already centered in the cell, but because sometimes the word behind is too long, it is pushed below which gives it a strange look. If you know a simple other solution... (for I don't want to do too many action when I upload a new file, as it already takes a lot of time, especially the RnD levelsets that have wrong levelinfo.conf settings or that contain bugs or so...)

I suppose you wanted the white on red one, here it is: Image

Here is another one with a double wave: Image

Whoa! This one is hassling for sure! Please don't use it! Image

It's enough that you replace the existing picture with the new one, by saving it with the same name. Maybe you already knew that... well, just to avoid the risk of a site-wide rename ;)

I can't find a quick solution about the alignment, it would need too much workaround, I fear. Better to leave it as it is now.

Thanks, Francesco! Of course it is very simple to create such a graphic (sorry for my laziness...), but how did you create that one with a wave? Did you just do this in Paint and did you create images with letters above and beneath? Or did you have a quicker way for this?

Hey, yes, of course I know that I have to give it the same name, I'm not that stupid... :roll:

I used Corel Photo Paint, and moved the letter objects manually in each frame.

Sorry about my note, it was really unneeded :|
Didn't want to offend you :oops:
