Re: Re: Problem Creating Transparent PNG on GIMP Windows

Ok, I did _another test where I downloaded the PNG I created with GIMP
1.2.3 on Linux to my Windows box (Windows NT 4.0 SP6) and opened it in IE 6
and got a white background behind the image (overlaynig the red background
of my test page).  In Opera 7, it looks just fine.

I opened it in GIMP 1.2.4 on Windows and it loaded wiht NO background, as
expected.

Peace....

IE _still_ is the problem as it, obviously, doesn't support PNG fully. At
least not on Windows.  I've created some PNGs using GIMP on Linux and IE 4
behaved like IE 6 is doing with PNGs created on Windows.  IE 5.5 on Windows
and IE 5 on Mac behaved the SAME way Netscape 7 and Opera 6 on Linux and
Opera 7 on Windows and displayed the image correctly.  This was using GIMP
1.2.3 on Linux.  If you send me e-mail offline, I can send you one such PNG
that I created and you can see how it behaves with your copy of IE.

I guess another way of saying this IE on Windows has _some_ PNG support,
but not FULL PNG support.

Peace....

So does anyone know - is this a GIMP on Windows only problem? In
other words, GIMP on Unix does it correctly?

I do know that IE is not the problem because PNGs created by other
people DO show as transparent.
