Yes, I also see noisy GIFs on that page. But I'm not so sure what the problem is. First, personal comment: Noisy transparant GIFs aren't a big deal to me because the use of transparant GIFs is dumb. You have NO control over the users choice of background - unless you think everyone uses an I.E. default. :( Second, I isolated and checked the octagon with sunglasses (source.gif) in GWS. Yes, the sunglasses were nicely transparant, but there was still a lot of noise around the edges. The info screen said the GIF had a background color of 255 which seems to be a bit odd - or I.E. like. Wouldn't a black background color make more sense ? I know nothing about transparant GIFs and their use of any builtin background colors tho. These are just my comments. :) - Clarence Verge. -- Using Arachne 1.66 on DSL.
