The alpha channel is the 4th component of a RGBA immage, where the first
three channels represent red green blue and alpha represents the
transparency of a pixel. With other words, instead of having a white
border, we could make it transparent so the background will shine
through. I will check if CVS emacs can handle RGBA pngs correctly....
