Yuck. In IE, the green background of the title logo above renders as a slightly different shade of green than the page background, even though they're given the same value. Mozilla and its kin all get it right.
Meanwhile, several of the page templates on this site are still the default Movable Type ones, including some that IE gets completely wrong. (Like, the text doesn't show up unless you sweep-select it.) I'll get around to fixing those as time permits.
Also, all the old entries have now been imported along with all relevant images from the old site. Some intra-site links are broken. Again, will fix when I can.
How did you fix the green in the image? It now seems correct.

ReplyDeleteActually, Anton emailed me with the answer. He said that IE doesn't know what to do with gamma settings in png files. If you make a png file without gamma information, it works just fine.
In my case, I had made the original png with gimp. When you save a png file, gimp asks (among other things) if you want to save gamma information. That was on by default, and (not knowing better) I didn't change it.
I fixed it yesterday by installing gimp (for windows) and re-saving the png without gamma information.
So, thanks, Anton! :)

ReplyDeleteActually, to be honest, it might be that IE does know what to do with gamma and Netscape/Mozilla are getting it wrong. But based on IE's track record with CSS (and every other standard, for that matter), I doubt it.
Either way, removing gamma information makes IE behave like all the other browsers, which is what I wanted.
