I followed the
original
instructions with Gimp 2.4.5.
- Open up the original
image in Gimp.
The original image has an embedded color profile and needs to be
converted to RGB. Opening the original image shows the following
message:
Click on "Convert".
- Select "Tools", "Selection Tools", "Fuzzy Select" as shown:
and click anywhere on the white background. There are numerous types of
selection tools available but mostly the background needs to be made
transparent.
- Select "Layer" menu item, "Transparency", "Add Alpha
Channel" as shown:
If "Add Alpha Channel" menu item is disabled then proceed to the next step.
- Select "Edit" menu item, "Clear" to make the selection
transparent.
- Finally save the image with default settings. Make sure to
give the extension as ".png", just specifying the file type as "PNG"
does not automatically provide the right extension. And the transparent
GlassFish image is available
here.
A complete set of GlassFish buttons (including these images) are available
here
- feel free to use them!
How do you intend to use them ? :)
