Re: GUI doesn't look right on IE 6

Hi Anissa,

I think it is b/c of IE 6's inability to dither the alpha channel / deal w/ transparency correctly.  I'm not sure, though.  I'm cc'ing w/ Woodstock alias for more input.  I think the team is moving away from special images in favor of using CSS rules (perhaps including using transparency in cases like this).  This makes rebranding the components easier, but perhaps makes IE 6 look bad.  Perhaps this will give people a little motivation to upgrade to Firefox to get around this. ;)

Will it be because the image on the header is a png  file ?  I seem to remember that someone mentioned that there is issue with png on IE.
The triangle tuner on the tree node looks strange also,  but we haven't changed any woodstock jar recently.
Any one sees this ?  I haven't run IE for sometime, and not sure when this starts.

Anissa.
