Transparent-Background Onion Heads

[Maltz]

I found a good online image editor (which is called exactly "online image editor") and removed some Onion Head's white background.
I think they work a lot better than those with the white background.
Welcome to use them!

Great work, these will integrate better with skins that don't use a white background, such as the Shogun 2 one. I'll see about having them installed over the current set.

No problem!

There are some images' background that are still not transparent. I don't have a good software (like GIF animator) to fix more complex images like "kiss" and "thief". The online image editor would make the actual onion head transparent.

I tested the transparent version on a black background and they look terrible. So this is for a light-backgrounded forum only.

The darkest we have is NTW, and we won't be making anything darker than that due to issues with visibility of usernames. While the smilies don't look the best on NTW, they look fine on everything else and NTW already has some significant readability issues anyway. As such, I'm inclined to simply replace the existing white-background smilies with the transparent ones. I feel like making to versions, one white and one transparent, would be confusing.
