Hello Friends,
I added some smilies to my boars http://forum.stuntingsouls.com
But those smilies have some outlined color (white) and my board has a skin in black. That smilies doesnt look at all. Please help me how to edit them. They are animated one. Or if someone can redirect to the site where I can download some smilies with no background color at all.

The problem with those blue smilies is that they are low contrasting and improperly shaded for dark backgrounds, even if you remove the white outline they would be difficult to distinguish against your forum style. You need more bright colored smilies, I believe Peggy has posted some smilie sites on another threads.
The ones I use regularly are the ones from this site:

You can find basic sets that work fine with your forum background color. And he also has some more miscellaneous sets that work well on many background colors without the need of having to matte them.

aman I don't know what to tell you. The only ones I know of that go good on a dark or black background are the ones that Hell3 linked you to above. If there aren't any animated ones there, then I really don't know where to find any. I thought I saw some animated smilies there, but I could be wrong. :)
Truthfully I didn't even know about those until Hell posted them.

Also, the kolobok.us ones have many that work well on dark backgrounds, and they have many animated ones, but you will have to test them manually since some of them are matted for white backgrounds, although they won't look too bad.
