Or you could take your picture and put it in my documents/my games/galciv2/logos or /portraits, depending on which it is.

Thanks guys, by the way does the picture have to be a certain size?

no, but 100x100 will be the best, otherwise, the picture will be scaled down what will make it look bad then what the picture is.

ah ic

and one more question.... how do you make the logos transparent?

For that you need a graphics program that lets you create images with transparent backgrounds (Paint Shop Pro, Photoshop, etc).

You may also like to try one of the free open source program such as Paint.Net.
This program needs the Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0 to run but is a good program. I used to use this before i upgraded to Paint Shop Pro
