These images retain their transparent backgrounds whenever I use them in any program on my local machine. When, however, I upload them to my server, the transparent backgrounds turn into opaque white backgrounds.
I first researched the Gimp forum, but as far as I (and some tech folks there) can tell, I've properly prepared these png images for upload to the server. I contacted my host provider (Host Gator), and the tech people there tell me that Host Gator doesn't manipulate uploaded images at all, much less in a way that would change transparent backgrounds into default opaque backgrounds. I've also scoured my ZenCart stylesheets, and I can find no CSS that would cause the change.
I still feel somewhat sure that the issue must lie somewhere between Gimp and my host provider, but just in case, I thought I would ask here if anyone knows of a ZenCart peculiarity that would cause my ZenCart admin to convert transparent image backgrounds into opaque white backgrounds.
