http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30190 PNG icons are not transparent ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004-08-15 21:15 ------- The problem is that the PNGs are shipped at all without transparency. Since the PNGs aren't actually used by default, can't they be fixed so that anyone who chooses to use them at least gets full PNGs which don't look so bad in mod_autoindex that they put people off using PNGs? It looks as though MSIE is the one fly in the ointment: http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/pngstatus.html but according to that, cells which aren't completely opaque are rendered as completely transparent; since the Apache images don't use blending but have pixels either transparent or with colour (AFAIK), for this purpose is there actually a problem? I just checked with my fiancee's MSIE 6.0 and the few icons used in one of my mod_autoindex pages rendered just fine; that's with the transparent PNGs rendered by the example command-line which I gave. In fact, I've just created a web-page using all the PNG icons (except those in small) and they _all_ rendered fine. If anyone wants to test more widely, there seems to be a decent testbed at: http://entropymine.com/jason/testbed/pngtrans/ but that covers a much more general case than the Apache icons, which require a much simpler subset of PNG rendering functionality. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
