Right. I save the file into my shared documents folder. Then open it with paint, make the background a distinct colour (Bright pink) so that the transparency is easily set. I then save it as a 24-Bit BMP format (Like Bl0nkt said). I open up GIFFY and load the BMP.

The image shows, I click on the transparent check box and tell GIFFY to set the bright pink colour to become transparent. I then save it as a GIF into the shared documents folder. In my shared documents folder there is the program "Gif2Mng". I drag the GIF image that I am using over the program and it is transferred to PNG. I move this PNG image into the Graal folder.

I open up Gshop. I then open up paint and copy and paste the transparent image into it. I copy and paste the name into the "Add a sprite" thing, just to make sure there are no typos and add the ".png" at the end. I set the # etc. I record the x and y correctly aswell as the height and width. I press add and there is no image there. But when I go to click there it shows the shape of the x and y etc correctly. Just no image... :/

Right...er, how do I do that?
