I’ve seen this a few times on different websites, and there’s a very simple temporary fix to sort out the problem, only it doesn’t fix anything really long term and you have to keep doing it.  Let me show you what I mean - below is the Bink.nu header and logo which is in PNG format. The top image is where IE7 doesn’t render it properly, whilst the bottom image is what it really should look like. See if you can notice the difference in the images.

It may not be blatently obvious, but one is in 32-bit graphics, whereas the top is in 16-bit graphics. But why? I asked someone on the IE7 team to clarify this one and here’s what I got:

“No comment”.

Useless. Anyone else having this issue or is it just me and the other 50 other people who I’ve asked?
