  I tried a couple of things to make a “non-background” header image, but no results… I did it even by photoshop.
  Is it a bug?
  I already tried .png and .gif format, but an ugly white or black square background always appears after uploading.

  What I exactly want is to remove the background color from the header image.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Since we don’t have a theme called “sam @ 85ideas, what is the URL of the site you are talking about?

  Ah, Motion is by sam at 85ideas.

  For a header image to maintain transparency, you have to create the image in the exact size that is required for the theme so that wordpress does not size or crop it. If it requires cropping by wordpress to fit the available space, when they save it they will save it without transparency and you will get the black rectangle.

  The “header image” size for Motion is 50px x 50px.
