The one thing that I was hoping to do (but don’t know how to) was rather than create a solid image, create it as a 24-bit PNG with alpha transparency for the background. Since you’ve been tweaking the background colours, it would’ve been nice to provide you with a version of the image that allowed you to change the background colour with CSS, rather than having to redo it.

Of course we’d have needed to tweak it to work in Internet Explorer (either using a CSS hack or using TweakPNG to set a fall-back background colour) but it’d make tweaking easier.

The problem was that the screen filter doesn’t actually do anything when placed over a transparent background. Maybe some colour selection trickery would do it, but I’m not sure of the best way at all.

well done ben for making it, and jo for knowing how to put it in the right place ^_^

it involved taking a black and white image, sticking it on top of my background colour, and then applying a “multiply filter”

Looks more like a “screen filter” to me… gosh, that’s tragic.

Anyway, pictures of lilies are always a good idea.
