in the past the rule of template challenges is that transparency cannot be altered -- inside or out. all pixels inside the template must be opaque, all outside must be transparent, and transparent counts as a color. changing the silhouette, even in a minor way, begins to defeat the challenge.
It's only required only outside of the template shape? That's how I interpretated it at least. I can fix if need be.
But claim of challenge says:
Transparency - Required (only outside the template shape though).
