[Gimp-user] transparent PNGs in IE
I know there's already been a lot of discussion on this subject and I've read pages and pages, but I'm still unclear. I realise that just about all recent browsers support PNGs. But, is it or is it not possible for IE (v. 5, for example) to correctly display a PNG with a fully transparent background so that anything behind it shows through? My PNGs are OK in Mozilla, Netscape, Opera, Konqueror and Nautilus, but in IE they have a rectangular white background that completely wrecks the effect.

You can achieve 1-bit transparency for example. Mukund ___ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

To do so, you need to make sure that your png is saved as an indexed image, rather than rgb (which png supports, but gif doesn't - this is why when you save as gif, you get a dialog asking you if it's OK to index the image sometimes). To do this, go into the Image-Mode menu, and select Indexed as the mode of the image. Then choose a palette to use (automatic is usually OK), and save as png as you do normally. The GIMP's png support is limited somewhat by its core support for indexed images - you can have one index entry completely transparent, but partial transparency (which is supported by png) is not supported for indexed images in the gimp.

[Gimp-user] Bug triage guides
Hi, I just found this page... http://developer.gnome.org/projects/bugsquad/triage/ ...which explains the ideas behind filtering bugs. It's actually quite a simple explanation, and applies quite well to the gimp when you substitute #gimp for #bugs :) Anyone who wants to contribute to the gimp bug triage, but who doesn't have permission to change milestones, please mail me, and I will either get you sorted, or give you a list of people who can change milestones (more likely the former). Be warned, the pointy stick approach will be in effect - if you make changes that you shouldn't (for example, to bugs in other products than the gimp), you will lose your rights.

[Gimp-user] Gimp 1.3.16 + Wacom Tablet
I recently tryed The Gimp 1.3.16 and loved that the new interface. I've started using this version for my everyday needs in graphics manipulation. But I have a problem with this version, my Wacom Graphire 2 tablet is not detected... I've seen that the Input device Dialog as been moved in the preferences but when I try to Configure Input Devices it always say No Input Devices. Does the tablet support has been disabled in 1.3.16 ? After reading the past posts in the mailing list I've seen that not having compiled xinput in GTK2 could be the problem. I verified and recompiled GTK2 with the xinput support, but Gimp still can't detect my input device. Can anyone help me on this problem?
