RPG Maker VX Importing Characters?

[Milespleasant]

I found a site with loads of character sets, but all their backgrounds are black, and when I upload them onto RPG Maker VX, and use them, they have a black background, so is there a way to make the black background transparent or how to get the right background?

When importing, left click on the background.

Otherwise, just open it up in Paint.NET or Photoshop or whatever and set a transparent bg,

Thanks, that didn't work before strangely.

I had to set the backgrounds to white, then left click when importing. Thanks again

I seem to remember RPG Maker 2000 having a problem with black, not being able to make it transparent. Maybe VX is the same. It's because "black" is the colour they use for "no transparency" (try it - import an image with black in it and set it to no transparency, the black will turn transparent! did for me anyway. Long time ago mind.)
