TRANSPARENCY | NOTRANSPARENCY

Comparisons

When the image is displayed and TRANSPARENCY is in effect, the browser's background color replaces the driver's background color, causing the image to appear transparent.
Note: It is recommended that you set the background color of your GIF output to match the background color of the presentation in which you want to use the GIF image. As an alternative, consider using the UPNGT device.
