--- Comment #19 from Bawolff <bawolff...@gmail.com> 2011-07-09 01:53:52 UTC --- >AFAIK it's hard to impossible (maybe using canvas?) to detect whether an image >has an alpha channel via JS. >And showing the toolbar on every non-transparent image is rather irritating >(because it won't do anything) I really do not like that idea. Remember how annoying the IE image toolbar was (maybe thats just me). I do not think that would be good usability, even if used only on transparent images. (Also, things that only appear on some images without being appearent why, especially tooltip things, are annoying too. See the title on links bug and the controversy that caused) >Since many >sites already have transparency set in their CSS, this patch would not have >worked reliably anyway. I think we should leave the choice the the respective >sites on what they want to do with their CSS. Why not. The C in CSS stands for cascading. I do not think we should care about weird hacks wikis do unless they cause severe incompatibility (which this doesn't. At worse on hover the background would change to a different transparent image). Most mediawiki users (outside of Wikimedia) will not know enough to do custom css stuff. (for reference, I think the hover on file pages only solution is a good idea) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
