There's over 21,730 sheets on the site. Good luck.
I'll reupload them once you finish all of them.

Lol I could update 100-200 a day, for a period of 4 months, and they would be complete. Hmm, maybe, just maybe.
It'd takes hours to do 100-200.
Not only it will take a while, but what about sheets that have more than 256 colours if what Tyvon/Osris is saying is correct? Plus there is a rare chance that one of the colours used on the sheet is also the tSR background colour.
So.. no then? xD

Yeah, the answer is "no". Plus, I like the background colours for my sheets.
Me too. It makes the sprites "pop."
At the very least, we have to form some sort of rules about the background color. For instance: the BGC can't be a color that'll hurt the eyes of whoever wants to see the sprite sheet. Also, it would help if the BGC doesn't "blend" in with the sprites, so that a sheet of mostly dark colors, for instance, isn't SO dark that you can't tell where the sprite ends and the background begins. Stuff like that.
i don't think we need 'rules' for that - if a background color is too clashing, people will state it in the submission's topic anyways.
The background color "clashes" because nobody in their right mind would use that color in a sprite sheet. Additionally, using something dark on a dark sheet makes the sprites harder to see. That's why the magenta that Dazz and I use is a good choice. It's an obnoxious color that isn't included in sprites, but it bright enough to showcase the sprites.
You can also usually find a good background color by going into Paint, clicking Invert Colors, eyedropping a color, undoing the Invert Colors, and then paintcanning that color onto the background.

PNG has transparency, actually.

But yeah, way too much work for such a little detail.
PNG transparency doesn't pick up on all browsers, iirc
Regular PNG transparency works on all browsers that support PNG, IIRC. It's PNG alpha transparency that doesn't work on IE 6 and lower.

I doubt tSR even loads right on browsers that don't support regular PNG transparency.
On another computer at my friend's house (note: it's also really shitty) that runs IE, tSR doesn't show up at all except for the logo at most.
