thanks for the input,

looks like this will determine the background color…. (non transparent)

ImageColorAllocate ($handle, 255, 0, 0);

is this code something that exists in the bp-core avatars file?

im not sure where i would add this…

i\’ve looked in:

bp-core-avatars.php

wp-admin/includes/file.php

wp-admin/imcludes/image.php

i’m fine with hacking the core…
