There are two ways around this: you can convert the image in Gimp to 
indexed color (yuck, but compatible; not suitable for all types of 
images), or use terrible scary IE hacks to make it render alpha 
transparency (looks great, but doesn't always work depending on IE 
version and security settings).

See:

There are some scripts to automate use of this hack such as:

[Gimp-user] transparent backgrounds and windows explorer

2004-07-02 Thread David A Iacobellis
Hello,

I developed a website and used script-fu/logos in gimp 1.2 to make the logos 
and buttons.  I then removed the background layer from the image to give me a 
transparent background.  In mozilla and konqueror the images are rendered 
correctly but recently I pulled up the website on a friends windows xp 
machine with internet explorer and discovered the logos transparent 
background shows up as white.  Can anyone tell me why this is and also if 
there is a way to correct this.

Thanks in advance,

Dave
