I didn't say that. But we would have to evaluate the impact of our changes on IE6, which is like 15% of Wikipedia's audience last I checked. In particular, just using alpha channels without regard to IE6 would greatly degrade display in IE6, but improve appearance in other browsers only slightly (since in almost all cases, equations are on a white background anyway). The obvious first step is to use binary transparency for the white background, which won't hurt IE6 or any other browser. It will leave a somewhat ugly white halo around the text in non-IE6 browsers if it's not on a white background, but that's probably better than an entire block of pure white as we have now. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
