All PNGs produced in the GIMP display correctly in IE. This is because we basically have the same design flaw as them - we assumed everything transparent would be a GIF, so in the GIMP we do transparency with 255 palette entries being totally opaque, and one palette entry being transparency. For other programs, here are the tips you asked for: 1) alpha works fine in 32 bit pngs 2) In indexed PNGs, threshold the alpha channel before saving to see what it will look like in IE. Alternatively, save your image as a GIF, then load it and save the result as a PNG (or run it through gif2png). This will work fine in IE also.
