The checkerboard pattern allows you to actually change colors and patterns from one to another, while just using transparencies (like here) limits you to just mixing the transparent layer with the color of what’s coming through it :D
With that Trixie picture, all the colors were just the two background colors mixed at different levels, so on each “version” only part of them appear :D
@Liggliluff
Basically you have two different images on alternating checkerboard patterns, both set to transparent and both only using the color that will bleed through but set to different transparency levels, just with these checkerboards being pixel-sized:
With the blue you can see them both, but on the dark theme only the happy face can be seen and at the light theme only the sad face can be seen. The problem is that it requires absolute specific circumstances to work: it can’t be resized (or the checkerboard will blend together and lose the effect) and it requires two very specific colors to make it work. With just the design she is now, a transparent grey for her outline and a partial blue transparency for hair, she’ll work with basically any color scheme :D
@Power-Up&Sky-Blue
I wonder if I could get like a three-way effect with her mane so it would represent all three color schemes. A pixel-sized checkerboard pattern would probably work for it, but the site does optimization and resizing so the effect would probably be lost :/
@phallen1
I’m impressed she still has a reasonably human hue to her. Like, to get the light and dark skin I had to be super precise with the base color XD
@Liggliluff
Is that even a thing though? Like I think this is the only pic to do it XD

She’s an intense Oompa Loompa orange set to around 50% transparency, which blends with the blues of the site to make human-colored skin. The background has like a “her-shaped” hole cut in it so the color of the site bleeds through. You can actually put any color behind her to see different results:

I don’t see the need of having an checkerboard pattern. I don’t understand what you want to achieve.
You don’t need checkerboard to change things with black or white backgrounds, example here:

your current filter.Basically you have two different images on alternating checkerboard patterns, both set to transparent and both only using the color that will bleed through but set to different transparency levels, just with these checkerboards being pixel-sized:

I’m not exactly sure how that would even work. But you could try making an edit; I’d like to see the result.

theme colored underwear?CHange themes and she changes.
That’s too cool!
Yeah it looks cool :D
And wow that starry image actually works well on that. :D
