I made some spaceships, set the BG to transparent, and got 'em into the gallery, but the BG shows up as some light blue color, not the one behind the image, which is orange. I used MS Paint for the images(PNG) and Microsoft Photo Editor to apply 100% transparency to the BG. Is this a problem on my side or with IE(version 6) or what? Here's a link. Thanx in advance.

It might be time to calibrate you monitor, It looks fine.

Okay. Thanks, peeps. I was mainly concerned about having a bunch of blue-backgrounded images marked as transparent in the gallery and looking like a retard. Psychotic Carp, do you know how/if I can get the transparency to work?

IE displays .png's like crap... use netscape or almost anything else. if you want it to show proper in IE then save as a .gif file, keeping in mind that you are constrained to 256 colors or it will dither, but the dithering of some programs you export from is pretty good.
