The gnome splash doesn"t support real transparency, you can only used the transparency as a mask like the gif transparency.
So, if you want a splash with corner the transparency of the pixel MUST be 0, and 255 for an opaque pixel. Actually, borders and corners are "antialiased" and the transparency is between 1 and 254, in these cases, the splash renderer displayed these pixels as black pixels ** Attachment added: "Zoomed screenshot of the current splash" http://librarian.launchpad.net/6634718/gnome-splash.png -- /usr/share/pixmaps/splash/ubuntu-slick.png does not have transparent background https://launchpad.net/bugs/87276 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
