    Please stop using GIFs in articles. They look like crap, especially if it's a screenshot of an XP-application (can you say dither?). And you shouldn't sponsor that crap company Unisys and their nazi licenses. There are other formats that can be used. PNG and JPEG works in most (if not all?) browsers. It's high time to bury GIF.

      I pronounce JPEG as jiipegg (J as you would pronounce the letter J, and then peg). I've never heard anyone where I live pronounce it as J P G ;P Gotta be a "norrländsk" thing. ;) -- Ignorant people upsets me.

        No wonder everyone became programmers instead of graphics designers :) Have a look at my article (below) for an example. Adaptive palleted GIF are the best for UI type screenshots. Heck look at all my articles!!! MyDUMeter: a .NET DUMeter clone

        Hah! If you squint your eyes a little, (and zoom in using a nice image viewer) you can pickup discreet changes in color along the gradient direction. It aint perfect! Shame on you.... :-D -- Ignorant people upsets me.

                      something can't be obsolete if it's used by 99% of the non-photo images on the web. -c :)
