Well, PNG still supports the transparent colour, when you're using a palette (256 colours or less) like GIF. It's the alpha transparency that requires a bit more work (namely, using the filter <a href='http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/auth ... loader.asp' target='_blank'>outlined here</a> exclusively).

It's a nice design, I like it. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--><br>
