[geeklog-users] GIF vs. PNG Redux

[Steve Sloan]

Howdy, all, it's me again ... the PNG fanatic. ;)

Just wanted to mention that I've chosen to convert my Geeklog installation 
(1.3.9) over to PNG, and it's worked just fine for me.  As it turns out, IE 
does still support simple transparency on PNGs (i.e. no alpha channel, indexed 
color only).  I used gif2png to convert all of the distribution GIFs, and 
changed the code more or less by hand.  And although size isn't much of an 
issue on these tiny graphics, the PNGs compress to ~10% smaller.

So, works for me, your mileage may vary, but I encourage you to make this 
change.
