I completed Belle's outfit with a red rose and book of fairy tales. It was my mom's idea to add the book (she's here with us for the holiday weekend) and we're playing with our avatars.

Not all the heads match all the bodies, that's all. Most of the heads are only in two colors right now (fair and dark). I'll try to add more later.

I have tried to move crop box and it won't let me. It also seems to not want to let me downsize my doll to fit background better. Also the teal bathing suit must still have transparcy issues as I continue to get white box with it. Sorru If i'm being a pain today.

I still can't get rid of my crop box either! Even when I've removed all the images, the crop box will not go away no matter what I do. In other words, I have a blank canvas and the crop box is there...mine is stuck off to the right and it almost seems as if the one edge is slightly outside the right-hand side of the canvas. I tried re-sizing the crop box as you described in a previous post, Jennifer, but all I get is a small circle with a line through it when I place the mouse on the corner of the crop box (while holding down the shift key). I did notice that the previous poster (mseeyoremi) is also having trouble with the crop box and we both are using the castaway cay/cruise ship as part of the avatar....could the "stuck" crop box be related to this particular image? I couldn't resize my doll (following your instructions to a tee) either when on the cruise ship image. Hmmmmm?!? Is there anyway to reset my avatar (even if it means losing what I've "purchased")?

I'm glad it's not just me. I use Windows Vista as OS If that maybe part of issue. Jennifer had Pm'd me and is going to look into my acct for me.

Yes, there is an issue with the crop box in mseeyoremi's avatar, and it looks like the same problem in DreaminDizney1002's. (I should note that resizing was NOT a problem, however.) I checked into this issue at the software maker's site, and a couple of other board owners reported this problem along with a manual fix (that only I can do for you). The problem seems unrelated to the background image, so I think it is just a coincidence that you two were using the same image (but I'll keep this in mind anyway). It seems that if the crop box is pushed off the edge of the avatar inadvertently using the nudge tool (i.e., Right button), then it gets stuck and can't be moved or removed. I'm reporting the problem as a bug and hopefully we can fix it so it doesn't happen to others. But if it does happen, just contact me by PM and I'll manually fix it. I should note that I'm not supposed to be working this weekend, so I'm only on my laptop not my desktop computer, so I can't do the fix quite yet. But if I can sneak down later tonight, I'll fix it -- otherwise it'll be after the holiday weekend.

By the way, I was able to make mseeyoremi's avatar look okay in the meantime by resizing her background and other images to fit in her crop box. Just FYI.

Thumbs up

This is a great feature - thanks!

I designed my living avatar along with DD. She got such a kick out of it!

Thanks for all of the great work you do!
