how to save a gif pic for a gradient background
i think gif must be totally transparent for this case, my current method to save for web then choose color in mat(this usually will have one circle of the color chosen surround the gif in preview mode), but the prolem is when the background is a gradient i dont know what to do then.

There is no real solution for this. I think you need to just set the part of the gradient it will be over as it's background and go from there. Sorry.

but it turns out very ugly, and it is not really integrate into the background

use a .png instead? then I think transparency is supported. (I could totally be misunderstanding what you're trying to do.)

Yeah, kiswa.

Yeah, but IE has some issues rendering transparent PNG files... so you couldn't really use that in a website. Which is what this sounds like it's for.
You'd just have to include the gradient in the image, then be careful about placement so it lines up. That's really about your only viable option.

Make it a PNG and for PNG support in IE check

Or create a content area with a static background(one color), instead of laying things on a gradient.

Hey, that's a good PNG work-around, Musoka. Thanks for the link.
