Is there any way...
...that this can be transparent? It's a pain with my custom CSS, and I think that users with similar CSSes would feel the same. Air  Conditioner   o you want a good template? 20:15, 24 December 2012 (EST)
 * I originally tried making it transparent, but it doesn't work, at least not the way I know how to do it. The gist is this: Each frame of animation is a new layer placed on top of the old one, like you have a bunch of transparencies and are stacking them up. Once you have something coloured in this way, you can't make it transparent by adding more on top, and as a result the logo would paint itself in and then revert to normal repeatedly.
 * In the end, you can blame Microsoft for not telling Internet Explorer how to do animated .pngs, which Bulbapedia loves despite how they are static even in IE10 (I think). Toomai Glittershine [[Image:Toomai.png|20px|link=User:Toomai/Bin|???]] The Chronicler 22:32, 24 December 2012 (EST)

Well, I've found out how to change this icon so it's transparent, but because of how .gifs work (i.e. pixels cannot be partially transparent), it gains pixellated edges instead and looks awful because of it (because circles and thin lines at small sizes look terrible without antialiasing). So while I would still prefer a transparent version, it's still not viable right now. Toomai Glittershine The Hammer 12:50, 29 November 2013 (EST)


 * Why not just convert it to a png? SeanWheeler (talk) 19:19, 4 March 2014 (EST)
 * Because neither I nor IE knows how to animate PNGs. Toomai Glittershine [[Image:Toomai.png|20px|link=User:Toomai/Bin|???]] The Altruistic 20:00, 4 March 2014 (EST)
