:First, I suggest creating a category for animated images and tagging those so they're all in one place. Second, I believe all our animated images are done to conserve space by cycling through tools made with multiple materials. We could create static generic versions (blank black/white? rainbow?), place multiple images, or continue using animated images with associated loss of background and possible quality. Your conversion to a standard background is nice, but could be a problem with images that don't contrast enough. *sigh* I'd say convert to generic/silhouette images in PNG and make sure all versions are given as examples elsewhere in the article. --[[User:McClaw|McClaw]] ([[User talk:McClaw|talk]]) 09:57, 30 November 2014 (MST) | :First, I suggest creating a category for animated images and tagging those so they're all in one place.

::The new standard background is a transparent color. The Item Infobox pages have a gradient applied so that the transparency shows through to the gradient. The reason partial transparency is good is so images like raw resin and epoxy can be displayed correctly instead of on a white background. It also might just be better to make the main image a collage of all of the types. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 10:51, 30 November 2014 (MST) | ::The new standard background is a transparent color.

:::Considering the items we've done animated images for aren't things that can be placed on blocks or back walls, I agree about the collage idea for main images. The icons might work better with white blank space as "generic" versions | :::Considering the items we've done animated images for aren't things that can be placed on blocks or back walls, I agree about the collage idea for main images. The icons might work better with white blank space as "generic" versions or a rainbow gradient, but might still stand as animated GIFs. --[[User:McClaw|McClaw]] ([[User talk:McClaw|talk]]) 11:15, 30 November 2014 (MST) | ||
