Semi-Transparent images
I'm using X11, a Linux emulator for MAC!!! to load The Gimp 2.2. I'm trying to make a semi-transparent image. I can't find the correct tool to use, there are so many of them!! It doesn't show up when I'm saving it either. I think I need a .png image to do semi-transparent, right?

Yes.
And it's Mac. And x11 is an X Window system emulator. And this provided minor hilarity as again you made me think of Mac's whole "omg we're creative and fun" campaign while reading it.
Gray and white checkered background saves as transparent.
None.
I'm looking for semi transparent. So if you put it as a div in html infront of a picture background, it will show the picture still.
None.
You put the gray and white checkers in the backround of what you want to show up.
None.
can't you just change the opacity of the semi-transparent layer, then save it in one of the compatible formats?
None.
Do I need layers? And how do I change the transparency percentage?
Edit: I'm new to this whole The Gimp application. I've only used the basic tools. I might need a step-by-step for this.
Edit: Okay, thanks the checkered background worked. I just needed to erase it a bit. Thanks.

If you need any more help with The GIMP, refer to "www.gimptalk.com". They have lots of wonderful tutorials, covering the basics to more advanced concepts.
Of course, if you still need help, you can ask the community again. Myself, I have a lot of experience with The GIMP.

NudeRaider -- DarkenedFantasiesDarkenedFantasies shouted: As for the 0 bytes zip, you just rename the file extension of any 0-byte file to zip. I however had to make it 1 byte because SEN throws an error when uploading a 0 bytes file.
yeah, that much is obvious, but I can only check if that's actualy the case (and not just the size rounded down) if I download the file.[10:52 pm]
NudeRaider -- Oh and that's on Win 10 as well, but a IoT Enterprise LTSC edition which (I think?) misses the latest feature upgrades, despite being current on security updates.[10:48 pm]
NudeRaider -- DarkenedFantasiesDarkenedFantasies shouted: On Win10, when I right-click > New > Compressed Folder, I get the 22B file that I had. This is only the EOCD header, with the magic number 0x06054B50 and the remaining 18 bytes are null.
oof, so much to unpack for such a seemingly insignificant topic. Firstly I tried with 7zip. Choosing the default right click > 7zip > Send to "filename.zip" on an empty file creates a 156 Bytes .zip. 82 Bytes I only get via custom options. Secondly I don't have > New > Compressed folder, I have Send To > Compressed (zipped) Folder. When I do that Windows refuses to create it because it's empty. If I do it on a 0 Byte file the resulting zip is 140 Bytes. Under rightclick -> new (on the empty area of a folder) I can only create a (regular) folder and several file types like text, spreadsheet, image etc. but not zip.[03:09 pm]

NudeRaider -- DarkenedFantasiesDarkenedFantasies shouted: i was typing 0KB as shorthand for 0.02KB, but what would you be curious about? could simply be any type of empty file that's had the file extension renamed to zip. with 0 bytes of data, there's nothing at all to investigate.
yes. That's already 2 things I'd investigate. 
Also still interested at 20 Bytes because the smallest I can get is 82.[2026-1-27. : 7:11 am]
DarkenedFantasies -- here ya go, I updated it to a 0KB zip file... or is it truly 0KB this time? hmmmmmmm...[2026-1-27. : 7:07 am]

NudeRaider -- DarkenedFantasiesDarkenedFantasies shouted: Ultraviolet There are 5 downloads on my 0KB zip file, so I think a bunch of those gotta be bots or dummies.
tbh if I noticed this I'd probably download out of curiosity because zip has overhead, so 0 bytes ain't possible
