png colors not rendering correctly in IE7.
I generated a 24bit png file with transparency using photoshop cs2
the solid color was #373737 with a transparent gradient at either end.
I then used this css:
background: #373737 url(image.png);
when viewed in firefox all was well and good
when viewed in IE7 the solid color was no longer #373737(r:55 g:55 b:55).
It was #242424 (r:36 g:36 b:36)
When ever I change the solid fill color in the image I get a linear shift in the color interpretation in IE7. I was able to shift the fill color up and get it to match the 373737 background color but it no longer matched in any other browser. :-(
So, clearly there is something wrong with IE7's color interpretation with regard to png images. There is a consitant color shift there that is insanely frustrating to deal with.
I would enter a bug report, but alas microsoft took down the connect site after releasing IE7. :-(
I guess they figure there are not more bugs in there.
I was so excited that IE finaly supported 24 bit transparency and now this.
criminy...
Has anyone else seen this and figured out a way around it?
Thanks
