For some time now, I've been playing with variations on the standard Livejournal user icon.¹ If you look at my reference pages, you can see hundreds of such icons made by myself and others, in a variety of themes. Now, I'm putting together an LJ Usericon Creator so that anyone can make their own customized usericon. (I generally use allah_sulu
This will also be useful to the LiveJournal staff if they want to make specialized icons for special occasions, as they did with the eyepatch on Talk Like A Pirate Day. I've already got Santa hats if they want to do something for Christmas…
The "GIF" option does not appear to save the icon properly – there was some distortion, and the transparency was lost, in the test icons I just ran. Use the "PNG" option to save your icons. If the error doesn't go away (it's not my code), I'll probably just remove the GIF button.
