+For your convenience, we have created some templates to ease the creation of hats to help you to align the hats pixel-perfectly. You can use them as background layer to help you align your hats.
 
-=== Static normal hats ===
-Just use the template for animated normal hats and crop it to the first frame (top left 32×32 pixels).

+* Static team hat: [https://www.hedgewars.org/images/Static_Team_Hat_Template.png Static_Team_Hat_Template.png]

-=== Animated normal hats ===
-A basic PNG template is [https://www.hedgewars.org/images/Hat_Template.png Hat_Template.png]. You can use this image as a background layer. This image shows a colored checkerboard pattern, each field represents an animation frame. The green and red fields are those where the idle hedgehog has an offset of +1px or −1 px (see above). The black fields are the unused frames. In the front, the idle hedgehog can be seen but shifted 5 pixels lower and the 5 lowest pixels cut off.
-You can use this image to exactly align the hat properly.
+For GIMP users, we also have XCF files with layers for your convenience:
+* Animated normal hat: [https://www.hedgewars.org/images/Hat_Template.xcf Hat_Template.xcf]
+* Animated team hat: [https://www.hedgewars.org/images/Team_Hat_Template.xcf Team_Hat_Template.xcf]
 
-This image is also available as XCF for GIMP users: [https://www.hedgewars.org/images/Hat_Template.xcf Hat_Template.xcf]. It got an additional layer and you can easily toggle a couple of layers on and off.

-=== Animated team hats ===
-You can use [https://www.hedgewars.org/images/Team_Hat_Template.png Team_Hat_Template.png]. This is similar to the previous PNG. The hedgehogs on the right half are in gray to remind you that you only should use grayscale colors on this side.

 == Sharing hats ==
 Custom hats (hats which are not part of the official Hedgewars installation) are only visible to other players if they have the hat installed under the same file name.
