Hi,
I have a little problem with a script I am trying to make.
The main problem is that when I draw something on a translucent png created with gd, it will still take the color which was set as transparent color.
For a demo look at
http://www.cranberries-fan.com/images/transparent/test.php
The backgroundcolor is set to black so in the black box it seems to be ok, but in the yellow box you can see that the transparentcolor is blended over black :-( while the empty spaces around the circle is actually translucent.
Am I doing something wrong? I read something on the net about the bundled gd having a bug compared to this issue, so I installed php 4.3.6 this morning so that the GD lib would have version 2.0.22

GD Version bundled (2.0.22 compatible)

look for the script at

What am I doing wrong or what is the GD lib doing wrong?
