It appears properly in MSIE 5.0 on the Mac. Netscape has a black background.

I would hazard to guess that MSIE 5.5 on Winblows isn't fully alpha-png
compatible just as suggested by Rebecca Walter. It must be supported in the
browser for it to work.

Just for the record, Mozilla 0.8 displays the transparency correctly.

Most browsers can handle regular (non-transparent) png's (apart from
MS IE 4.x under Mac, IIRC).  Very few have correct support for png
transparency, sadly...

Re: [Gimp-user] transparency with png

2001-03-12 Thread Seth Burgess 

There's a couple of scripts that take a background
color (or layer) and make a thin halo around your
transparent image.  This won't make a smooth gradient,
but if you have some idea what your background is
going to be it looks great.  Even against a patterned
background the human eye is quite forgiving. 

The 2 I know offhand (I wrote one) are prep4gif and
alphaGif.

Happy GIMPing,

Seth Burgess

  I just thought of another approach, since the
 graphic looks quite nice with
  the exception of the boarder around the main
 image, you can always try
  cropping the image so there is no
 boarder/background. Then it won't matter
  what browser you use, it will look correct.

 This approach works just fine unless the image has
 rounded corners, as many of
 mine do. Cropping leaves you with a rectangular
 image which, without a
 transparent background, causes annoying white (or
 whatever your background color
 is) artifacts outside the rounded corners.
