Making thumbnail images isn't all that hard, for the most
part. There is lots of shrink-wrapped code out there you
can download and/or munge from. But nothing I've yet
seen does the right thing with transparent background gifs.
If you (I) try to work with ImageCreateFrom Gif($this->path);
you end up with a black background.
Does anybody know how to make transparent background
gif thumbnails? Or maybe how to at least turn the background
to white?

Didn't the links (including the one to the manual) that you found when
you searched Google for
php transparent gif
help at all?

But, does it work with *non-transparent* GIFs? As manual says, GIF
support was removed for a while due to patent issues.

I'm kinda lost. There isn't such thing as "background " and
"non-background" GIFs... :-?

Googling "php transparent gif" turns up dozens of links
to question and answer forums where the same question is asked
many times over.........an d the answers are not at all clear.
I'd venture to say this is a FAQ with infrequent solutions.
I'm sure it's possible. I might even be able to fight with it
and solve it all on my own.
Questions on usenet invariably incur at least a few acerbic responses.
But questions on usenet often lead to good answers too.
So it's always worth a try.
:-)

You know:
int imagecolortrans parent ( resource $im [, int $col ] )
?

Thanks, that looks like the beginning of a solution.

But it also turns up a link to the manual which talks about setting

I am trying to create an image using GDI+ in VB.NET. I want to have the

the resulting background color is black, not transparent. I am saving the
image to the output stream as an "image/gif". Is there anything I should

Hi.
I have a transparent PNG-image that I would like to display on top of
the rest of the web page. I've already got this part working. But, I'd
like the background (as in "the part of the image that is transparent"),
to be semi transparent instead. So, I've wrapped the image in a
div-tag with the style "opacity: .70" instead. This gives me pretty
much the semi transparency that I'm looking for, except that this makes
the entire image...

When I create a System.Drawing.Bitmap and save it as ImageType.GIF, how can I
set the transparency so that the background is transparent.
In my application, the Bitmap that I am working with has several transparent
GIFs drawn on it and the transparency of each of them works within the
bitmap, but the bitmap overall gets saved with a black background.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
