Transparent PNG images #472

Open pumpking19 opened 8 months ago

I have transparent PNG images as avatars in profiles in Gramps Desktop, but after sync with Web version it converted into not transparent JPG images, and background became black. Is it possible to support transparent PNG images in Web version? img_0001

Transferring to API

Hi, the images are not converted, but the thumbnails use JPEG format which doesn't use transparency. Switching to PNG thumbnails or even multiple thumbnails format would be quite a large change and I doubt it's worth it. As a workaround, we could consider making the background white instead of black (I was not aware it defaults to black), but not sure that is really a solution.

Hi! Thank you for your answer! Yes, if there is no other way out, I think the white background color will be much better than black.
