| Hehehe, this thingie end up being quite fun! Didn't expected it to be that dificult for everyone!! First of all, a bit of theory... The GIF format was the shit years ago. 256 colours (8bits)! You could do a lot with that!! Unfortunatelly, gfxzone is down now so I cannot show a lot of graphics done with Deluxe Paint pixel per pixel (no wacoms!). So yeah, as I said, using a GIF you can have up to 256 colours, and, now listen carefully, 2 colours of those 256 could be the same, you can customise the palette however you want, in fact, with good old programs you could even move the colours in the palette. Quite a lot of games used the trick of using the first colour in the palette as transparent colour, so the graphician had to setuop the palette of the graphic like that. So yeah, the trick was that 2 colours (even 3) where black (I added a transparent one because a "bug" with irfanview). So, in order to show the text, you have to change one of those colours to any other colour :D That trick was very used by graphicians long time ago, they used to add hidden text (greetings to other graphicians) in the empty parts of their graphics. Isn't it cool?! So, here you have the steps:  Select the first colour:  Change it to white, and that's it!  Now you should see this:  |
