Hi Jeff,

I've just implemented a portfolio website using your excellent Pixture Reloaded theme.
(http://portfolio.paternottes.net/) (in Dutch language I'm afraid)

Upon testing the website with ye ole IE 6, I noticed that the transparent png images are not displayed correctly.
At first I thought I'd read that the theme included built-in IE PNG FIX, but soon I discovered that this was with another theme I had been considering: NewsFlash (http://drupal.org/project/newsflash)
Would it be an idea to also include an IE PNG FIX into Pixture Reloaded?

Stephan

Not really. All the images in PR are png's, so most png fixes will mess up PR more than it fixes (for IE6). This is mainly because, in essence and afaict, the pngs become nigh on impossible to position correctly (you have to position the containing div), this is a nightmare as you can't do something as simple as setting a negative offset for CSS background images.

That said, if you use something like SuperSleight you can target just one selector, so its possible to limit the png fix to just certain images.

IMO the Pandora's box of issues opened by invoking the alpha image loader are much more trouble than its worth, which is why I have chosen to allow PR to degrade disgracefully in IE6.

This is not fixed my friend, nor have I included any such transparent png support in PR (and never will).
