They look exactly the same to me in both browsers. They both show a brownish color. It looks good, though.

Thanks…
But in IE I can see the image and a background behind it that doesnt match.
In Firefox i just see the text…and then the background. Which is hw I want it.

Is it the image headline plugin from ColdForged? It makes PNG headlines automagically. IE does not currently support transparancy in PNG images, unfortunately. Isn’t that sad. Use your image-headlines plugin to set the background as close to your page background as possible. I haven’t seen your site but have used the headline plugin from ColdForged, if that’s what you used.

Dgold: The image is actually a .gif, you’ll see when you rightclick it and open in a new page.
edit: just opened it in Gimp; it seems to be a gif, but for some reason it is neither greyscale nor indexed.
Marque: Possibly you actually have not a native .gif; you might want to open the image with an image manipulation program and save it as a proper gif or an indexed .png (which IE is able to display properly).

Dgold: Thanks for the help…Im not using a plugin for it..I didnt know there was one…I just wrote it into the theme itself…I didnt know IE didnt support PNG tranparency…silly IE.
Mastermind: Thanks for the help! I used a program called “Paint.NET” to set the transparency…the program is a little…flawed in many things. I guess that is the problem then. Im downloading and installing GIMP at this second…Ill let you know if it works. Thanks again.

Yeah, “dot net” doesn’t sound like a quality product. 😉
Have fun with the Gimp, it’s a powerful tool, but a bit fiddly (esp. under Windows). Or, in analogy to a Unix-related saying: Gimp *is* userfriendly; it’s just picky about who its friends are.
