This following link has the appropriate code to include,
description of the problem with visual examples, and
what the fixed image looks like.

I think it would be beneficial to include this function in
the core, to give developers an easy option to fix
improperly displaying PNGs.

    Doing this server-side is highly limited so we won't do this
    here.
    - The filter fucks up some PNGs not using alpha-transparency
    - Too many alphaImageLoader on the same page make IE (and
    I'm using IE6 which is more stable than IE5.5) really
    unstable and all the things I've tried to surround this just
    brought strange behaviors (IE may freeze until all images
    are loaded so you can't click anything, and many more...)
    - It's not integrated with client-side features (a
    JS-generated IMG tag can't use this, and rollOver and so on
    effects either)

    IMO the best way to correct this in IE is through CSS + a
    behavior like webfx guyz did ( http://webfx.eae.net/ ). I'm
    using something like this in my themes when necessary and
    if Xoops ever provides something related to this it will be
    something similar.

    Hi

    a good idea to help us improve the appearance of Xoops sites
    but I'm not sure that this is the best solution - for me the
    MS transparent background filter is css and as such belongs
    in the css files.

    I've tried to impelment this but there seems to be something
    in Xoops that blocks the MS filter. I posted a request for
    help at xoops.org this spring where I describe this in more
    detail - you find it here:
    http://www.xoops.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=19064&forum=31
    In between times its been read 190 times but no-one seems to
    have a solution.

    Best wishes

    Alan
