Re: [WSG] transparent background of png
hi robin, my hp laptop leans toward the blue when viewing images, especially gray, so i doubt if it's anything that you are doing. it would be nice if there was a setting for a laptop lcd that would allow for a neutral color setting, like 50% rgb respectively. dwain On 3/1/07, Robin @ Xplore.net [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, I have started putting together a site and I have an image with shading around the outside and a transparent background which I need to layer over a grey background. http://training.xtools.co.nz/xplore_test/index.htm I tried a .gif with transparency but it looked terrible with the white edges of the shading showing through, I have now replaced that with a PNG32 which look ok but when I view this using a laptop the transparent background is blue.

Re: [WSG] transparent background of png
Hi Robin Internet Explorer 6- doesn't support PNG with alpha channel transparency ( i.e PNG 24 and 32) although it will support PNG8 with one transparent colour (like GIF). There are a myriad of articles on the web about getting IE6 to render PNG32 using it's AlphaImageLoader malarkey - ugly but it works. Try searching for Internet Explorerer Transparent PNG on google and you'll find a resource that will solve the problem. The good thing is that IE7 will do it properly...

RE: [WSG] transparent background of png
I agree with Dwain. My HP NX6325 laptop shows the same grey as my desktop PC, but my HP NX9010 laptop shows a light blue. The green panel also tends to yellow on the NX9010. Not much you can do about that, as far as I know. James' comments is also true. The PNG file in IE6 comes up as a big grey square (sadly, not even the same grey as the background colour) with the frame wheel in the middle. AlphaImageLoader malarkey would seem to be required. _ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dwain Alford Sent: Friday, 2 March 2007 10:31 AM To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Subject: Re: [WSG] transparent background of png hi robin, my hp laptop leans toward the blue when viewing images, especially gray, so i doubt if it's anything that you are doing. it would be nice if there was a setting for a laptop lcd that would allow for a neutral color setting, like 50% rgb respectively. dwain On 3/1/07, Robin @ Xplore.net [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello, I have started putting together a site and I have an image with shading around the outside and a transparent background which I need to layer over a grey background. http://training.xtools.co.nz/xplore_test/index.htm http://training.xtools.co.nz/xplore_test/index.htm I tried a .gif with transparency but it looked terrible with the white edges of the shading showing through, I have now replaced that with a PNG32 which look ok but when I view this using a laptop the transparent background is blue.

Re: [WSG] transparent background of png
I think some platforms/browsers have trouble with PNG 32 also, graphics cards etc that are not true color, user setting set to 16 bit and below, these factors and more can cause image problems with PNG 32. Try it with a PNG 8.

Re: [WSG] transparent background of png
but when I view this using a laptop the transparent background is blue. You must be using IE6 on the laptop Is there something I am doing wrong? Not unless you're a microsoft employee If not what are my other options to make this work in all browsers and viewing devices? You can feed MS proprietary filters to IE. http://www.bioneural.net/2006/08/09/valid-fix-for-png-transparency-on-a-single-image/ is the first thing i found, but a search for transparent png ie should turn up plenty of workarounds. I use a php solution that automatically converts all of my img elements that contain pngs into MS's proprietary stuff if IE is the browser, but I cant find it at the moment. *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***
