avatar icon is not translucent (transparent)

[adium]

The avatar icon appears to others only translucent (with transparent background), if you drop it directly into the window of "Personal" > x "Use this icon".

While using "Choose Icon..." and selecting the icon, it does not appear translucent to others.

I tested tiff-translucent and png-translucent avatar icons (both created with Photoshop) in jabber only while the other user downloaded my avatar viewing it with Photoshop.

That's true. Unfortunately, it's out of our control unless we write the image picker from scratch instead of using the Apple one, as the Apple one passes back JPEG data which does not support transparency.

I'd suggest to give a hint about that in the Personal tab.

Closing all waiting on apple tickets. These just take up space, and are largely ignored anyway. Any functionality we need but cannot add due to apple is a good radar to file, but we are not apple's tracker.
