  Hi,

  i’m trying to use a small png with transparency as a favicon on my blog. After uploading it in the blog settings the 3 preview images show up with a black background and so does the final favicon on the blog.

  Any idea what’s wrong with my png?

  The source image is here:

  

  and it properly shows the transparency when used from here:

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

  That’s correct. Do not use transparent backgrounds on Blavatars. It will always do this.

  Actually, that’s not true, rain. I use a transparent png for my blavatar.

  @hauner – if you have a blog at wordpress.COM please provide a link. The only site that you referenced is not hosted here.

  Hi,

  hmm, I didn’t add the blog address because there was a drop down menu with my blogs address on the support form. So I thought it would be included automatically.

  The url is:

  I wonder if that is theme-dependent. What I said is what the Support files say and also the other threads in the forum I was able to find. Same with avatars.
