Our (beloved) designer keeps creating PNG files with transparent backgrounds for use in our applications. I'd like to make sure that this feature of the PNG works in "older" browsers as well. What's the best solution? edits below @mabwi & @syd - Whether or not I agree about the use of a PNG is not the point. This is a problem that I ne...
The following PHP code snippet uses GD to resize a browser-uploaded PNG to 128x128. It works great, except that the transparent areas in the original image are being replaced with a solid color- black in my case. Even though imagesavealpha is set, something isn't quite right. What's the best way to preserve the transparency in the res...

I've seen a few fixes for allowing PNG images to have transparency in Internet Explorer 6, but I've yet to find one that also allows you to set the background position in CSS. If you use sprites, it's a deal-breaker. I've resorted to using GIF's (which are not as high quality), not using transparent images at all, or serving a completely...
I made a panel and set it to fill the screen, now I can see the windows under it but I want it to be click through, meaning they could click a file or see a tool tip of another object through the transparency. RE: This may be too obvious, but have you tried sending the panel to the back by right clicking and choosing "Send to Ba...
I made a rotating image fader using Javascript and CSS to show images and unload them. I wanted to use transparent PNG's, I didn't expect or care if they looked good in IE 6, but IE 7 and 8 treated them with the same disrespect. Firefox and other modern browsers looked great. Every picture with image.filter = alpha(opacity=xxx) in it ...
As a follow up to my previous question, I am wondering how to use transparent windows correctly. If I have set my window to use transparency, the UI will occasionally appear to stop responding. What is actually happening is that the UI simply is not updating as it should. Animations do not occur, pages do not appear to navigate; howev...
I'm trying to get something very subtle to work, it looks pretty awful right now.

I've got a bunch of nested group boxes that look very decent without XPThemes. Is there a way to ...

I'm having some trouble with Visual Studio 2008 on my Windows XP SP2 laptop. What happens is that when I start a program with a few textboxes and stuff like that, the boxes are see-through. I can litteraly see through them and see what's on the underlaying screen. Like if I only have this Form showing and behind that my wallpaper, I can...
I'm developing a website (using asp.net by the way) and I'm having a problem with IE6. When I use some icons near links, using background-image and padding-left on the links, the icons display nice on FF and Chrome but in IE6 they take a kind of "gray" background, and sometimes the flash strangely. Any ideas? is there some CSS hack to ...
I have a GIF image that has an alpha set, and when my site loads in Firefox 3.0, it acts transparently on the parts of the image that should. However, when I try to load the GIF image in IE7, it comes back as a solid block. Actually, it is like the color from the image bled into the transparent area. Do anyone have any suggestions for...
I'm trying to create a simple Java application that displays a frame containing a JButton. I'm using JNI to add transparency to the window. The window is transparent but the button is not. Also, when I move the window the button doesn't move with the window. The same thing happens with a JLabel. If I use a Button instead of a JButton it ...

I have used this javascript (http://www.ideashower.com/our_solutions/png-hover/) to implement the alphaimageloader fix for ie6 using a transparent gif. When I test it for the ...

If I make my Control transparent, then the video is obscured, because transparent controls are painted by their parent control and the video isn't painted by the control; it's shown using DirectShow or another library, so ...
