On paper (or at least on post) it sounds like a great idea. but the fact is, that members who would choose to install the images would need to have a white coloured matte background, and most styles don't as every style is unique in it's colour which means a white matte edge would show a white surround thus giving the image such an ugly appearance with a white rim surrounding it when up against a colour that isn't white.

What about full transparency? That would be fine if the Images didn't contain curved edges (or atleast constructed with the pencil tool) so there's no smooth anti-aliasing present. However, anti-aliasing is what makes the emoticons I submit look better than pixel variants (which I don't care for much) and for me to remove the white (or any coloured matte) would result in extremely ugly submissions if I saved them at full transparency. (full transparency varant below) See the ugly jaggy edge?

Full transparency (left) colour matte (right)
It works well with hacks/code modifications, but for indivdual images/sets unless the member had the same coloured background as the graphic submissions it would be chaos.

Personally, The idea is good, but.. I doudbt there's any workaround for it.

EDIT: I'll be adding more "Get Screwed" emoticons later today. They will have a slightly larger canvas.

Note!! Anyone who would like to suggest any titles feel free to post and I will try to design to compliment to the suggested title.
