Variation on the theme of WTF?

[cdybedahl]

So I got bored and made myself a new default icon, on the same theme I always use. This time it's a PNG image, with a proper transparency channel. The kind that MSIE refuses to handle, so you out there who insist on running that won't see it like it should be.

Anyway, it occured to me that I now actually have a machine that can run MSIE: the iBook. So I decided to start it up and have a look to see how much it sucks -- only it turns out that MSIE5 for Mac can handle PNGs with alpha channels. Correctly, as far as I can tell without looking at a torture test page.

So I still don't know what that icon looks like for you MSIE/Windows users.

EDIT: For the IE (and apparently some Opera) users, here's a capture of what it looks like in a browser that gets it right. Note how the shadow works on different background colours.

Hee, it looks far more like wood now that I look at it, but y'know, when you're hungry, it looks lovely and pretzely and cheesy and salty and yummy... *shuts up and runs to the kitchen:)*
