Capman Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 Why does Lunarsoft display differently on different computers? Image 1 The frontpage when viewed at home, looks OK. Image 2 The frontpage when viewed at work, looks OK. Image 3 The forum when viewed at home, looks OK. Image 4 The forum when viewed at work, looks bad. Quote
Administrator Tarun Posted September 16, 2005 Administrator Posted September 16, 2005 You're using IE at work. It cannot properly handle .png images. The frontpage has a gif, but the forums have a png. Quote
Capman Posted September 16, 2005 Author Posted September 16, 2005 Thanks Tarun, i knew there would be a reason for it, just couldn't work out what. I really need to ditch IE and OE for FF and TB, but I work with a bunch of luddite type people. Maybe I will leave IE and OE on the main computer but change the other one over to FF and TB, and see if that helps persuade them. Quote
DjLizard Posted September 17, 2005 Posted September 17, 2005 IE can handle normal PNG fine, but not alpha transparent PNG. That banner is not alpha transparent. Your issue might be that you need to set your color depth to 32-bit instead of 16-bit. edit> I gave Tarun a 24-bit PNG, if that helps it make sense Quote

Administrator Tarun Posted September 17, 2005 Administrator Posted September 17, 2005 It happens at college where it's set to 32 bit as well. Quote
Capman Posted September 17, 2005 Author Posted September 17, 2005 Just checked the computers at work and they are 32-bit, I guess it must be some other issue. I suppose it don't really matter that much, most people probably don't even notice it, and it is the contents of the site that is most important anyway. Quote
