Hi,

I don't make themes but I am a bit familiar with HTML, CSS and PHP. This issue is making me bang my head against the wall a little bit :) - any help would be greatly appreciated! Essentially, my very simple images I created in paint.net with transparent backgrounds have ugly white boxes for the background in IE. In Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc the background is transparent like it should be.

I have scoured the internet for fixes for this but cannot find anything that works! Please help! Thanks!

Having the exact same problem.

Update: This only happens with multiple images transitioning. If we remove all but one image so that it just becomes static the corners render properly.

It's not just the corners for me. The image is a square with a logo in the middle. On every browser besides Internet Explorer, the image is "floating" on a clear background. On IE, the entire background is white. It really looks horrible...ANY help would be greatly appreciated, I really need the background to be clear in IE as well!!

Thanks!

Right, I guess it would be the whole background. My images just cover everything but the corners where they are rounded off.

BTW, I'm not sure what would fix this but if you follow Dan's instructions to replace the slideshow with a views slideshow ( http://drupal.org/node/1048262 ) and set the Clear Type options to false in the IE settings under the style settings for the block, it should work.

I actually did a bit of a workaround. I photoshopped a screenshot of the web page with the clear background (in Chrome) - and made that the background of the actual image, instead of trying to have an image floating in a transparent background. Now it looks a little worse in every non-IE browser, and a LOT better in IE...not perfect, but it'll have to do until Microsoft decides to render HTML like the rest of the world. I won't hold my breath :) Thanks for your help and please let me know if you come up with anything!

I am removing issue tags used from one to four issues. I apologize for bumping the issue.
I am closing this issue, since Drupal 6 isn't supported anymore.
