Download this image and open it in Emacs: http://tango-project.org/static/cvs/tango-art-tools/palettes/Tango-Palette.png
The image has lots of transparent pixels. Using M-x set-background-colour RET and you'll see the background of the image changes with the background. Now use 'convert' from ImageMagick to make a copy of the image: $ convert Tango-Palette.png Tango-Palette-copy.png Open the new copy in Emacs and the transparent pixels show up as white pixels. Open the copy in The GIMP or gqview and you can see that the background really is still transparent. I'm using this version of convert: Version: ImageMagick 6.2.4 12/13/06 Q16 http://www.imagemagick.org Copyright: Copyright (C) 1999-2005 ImageMagick Studio LLC In GNU Emacs 22.0.92.40 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.8.20) of 2007-01-09 on trpaslik X server distributor `The X.Org Foundation', version 11.0.70101000 configured using `configure '--with-gtk' '--prefix' '/usr/local' '--with-xpm' '--with-jpeg' '--with-png' '--with-gif'' _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
