IE really Pisses Me Off [modified]
-
I find an acceptable color for the baclkground of a web page. I come up with (png) images that have backgrounds that are same as the page's background color. I load up a test page in Firefox. Everything is eactly what I was expecting. I load up the page in IE, and the colors no longer match (page background is darker than image background). WTF is that all about, and how might I fix it?

did you (or your PNG creating software) set a gamma value for the PNGs ? if so, that could be the cause - IE doesn't like[^] PNG gamma corrections... Cleek | Image Toolkits | Thumbnail maker

I gave up and went back to electronics for a while. Worked for me, but I guess that's not really the kind of solution you were looking for. Hmm.

IE6 DOES Support Alpha channels but only on 256 color pallet PNGS. (so it renders like a Transparent GIF) You can use Paint Shop Pro, PhotoShop and even FireWorks to take care of this. There is also a work around by forceing IE to use DirectX in order to render the PNG image in 24-Bit: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/bobosola/[^] Other then that.. wait for IE7. =) -== The PogoWolf ==- "The Devil is a loser, and he's my bitch" - Mr. Lordi http://www.pogowolf.com GamersVue: http://GamersVue.blogger.com

The simple answer is to use jpg instead on png... It still pisses me off....

Welcome to CP in your language. Post the unicode version in My CP Blog [ ^ ] now.People who don't understand how awesome Firefox is have never used CPhog[^]CPhog. The act of using CPhog (Firefox)[^] alone doesn't make Firefox cool. It opens your eyes to the possibilities and then you start looking for other things like CPhog (Firefox)[^] and your eyes are suddenly open to all sorts of useful things all through Firefox. - (Self Quote)

I turn compression off, but Paintshop Pro has a really good optimizer, so my images are about 50-60% smaller than they would be if I had simply turned compression off and not used the optimizer.

That's another way to put it... I prefer calling people names and suggesting they have other-than-optimal parental heritage...
