I am very curious to find out how people are able to have avatars that do not include a background of some sort. How do you have an avatar with perfectly rounded edges:

What is the secret?
My current avatar is a die (dice plural) from a cool Fallout logo I found. The original image has no background, but as soon as I made it my avatar, bam! black background...what gives?
