It's called Paint.NET, but he just said it without caps.

It's the best I've used so far, but I am sure there are better ones out there.

Cool.

I'll probably get into that when i get enough money for my new laptop.

Do i need to make the background transparent too?

[Justin K.]

I'm all of the sudden excited that i'll be making a real add-on.

I also hope to get into scipting and/or modeling.

How big/small do i need to make a decal?

Any power of 2 will work.

512 square is preferred.
