I coulnd't find anything with the search function. But I like to add a picture that has the same color as the rest of the posts background. How can I do that? It's right now only a black and white picture and the white I'd like to be transparent or the colour of the background. Can anyone help me? Maybe with the colour code or something...

I know that I can write text with TEST --> [*COLOR="Transparent"]TEST[/COLOR]
 
The background color of the right-side post column is #F4F2F3. However, unless you have specific reasons for doing so, matching the anticipated background color of an image is generally not the best way to add "transparency" to it. Instead, create a PNG or GIF image with true transparency, which will allow the background of the page to "show through" as you expect.
 
Thanks for the help I will try how it works out the best for what I need... I try to add a picture of a Fuji Speedway trackmap, but not the one already posted in the trackmaps thread. It's one with names of the corners and not horizontal... and if I give it more transparency on photobucket it fades out the track itself too...

I'm not familiar with any photo hosting site yet and still have to figure out how everything is working there!


EDIT: It only works when I fill the white area with the colour. I have the background transparent, then I upload the picture to photobucket and there the background stays transparent but after I add it to the forum the background just is white again... More important is that it worked and so I don't mind about, whether it's transparent or filled with the colour.
