Gnus smiley: transparent is taken to be white.

Gnus smiley: transparent is taken to be white.

[Rajsekar]

I like to use emacs with black background.  I use some png files for my
gnus smiley.  The problem is that the transparent portions of the png file
are rendered white (instead of black).  Is this a bug? any workarounds?

If you use GIMP set the  background color to Black and check the "save
background color° check (could work with other programs)

Yeah, I did something like that.  I flattened the image (in gimp), thus
removing the transparent portion, but isn't it more of a workaround?  The
transparent part is to tell the rendering application that it should put
the background color there.  I will have to take a look at smiley.el for
that.  Maybe after tomorrow's exam.
