Agreed. THe user should be able to set the background color. I had tried
changing the default background for the simulavr dox but it didn't work
out to well.
There is a way to get png's to work as you like. Here's an example:
http://entropymine.com/jason/testbed/pngtrans/
Here's a simple way to add transparency to a png:
$ pngtopnm malloc-std.png > malloc-std.pnm
$ pnmtopng malloc-std.pnm -transparent white > test.png
The test.png is also smaller than the original png (bonus fat! ;-)
I've attached the test.png. See if you browser can handle it. I think we
can live with this. Might need to run a check in configure that replaces
pngtopnm and pnmtopng with cat if they aren't available on a system.
How's that sound?

:) Sheesh. Stupid licensing @$!#. Everybody uses GIF... I hope there
:) aren't more serious restrictions for using these servers.
I think it's more a case of stupid/gready patent holders than licensing.
I think this lays it out:
https://savannah.gnu.org/register/requirements.php
You might need to be logged in to read it.
Help that clearifies things some.
