This might have been discussed already, but I didn't see it after searching around.
Running elgg 1.5 with an unmodified SimpleBlueWhite theme. After adding transparent PNG files to the site (either in the files section or as group icons) the backgrounds are changed to black.
I believe this is do to how Imagemagick handles transparent PNG files, but I have no idea how to fix that one (relatively new to elgg).
Thanks,
Rush

You must log in to post replies.elgg converts png files to jpg files, and jpgs do not support transparency. Why would anyone want to convert png to jpg? <sigh> yet another Internet Explorer bug - older versions of IE did not display transparent backgrounds correctly. So elgg fixes this by making the backgrounds look bad in all browsers.

also slightly depressed by this, but not an end of the world issue. Add it to trac and it might be dealt with for a later version.
I think it is /engine/lib/filestore.php handle this !
I had try different way to solve it but can´t get it to work.
