Hi Team,
Sorry for the non-informative subjecttitle, I'll explain better below...
When you create a layered design in Photoshop (probably with more editing apps, but I ran into it using PS CS3), I presume you have the guardcolor border on a separate layer.
What sometimes happens when you export the merged image to a PNG, is that the border color has bled into the transparent areas. It all depends on what you did in your workflow before, but it is in the end by definition not possible to see if a transparent color is transparent green (my favorite border color) or some transparent other color... 
When SJ reads such a PNG it complains about all sorts of misbehaving images and subimages.
So could the test inside SJ please be made to respect the transparency? So if a border is opaque green and the inside is transparent green they are seen as different colors?
(If you want I can send you a misbehaving file)

Hello SilverEagle,
we understand the problem. However, currently, we would expect the designers to correct the border color/transparency in such cases. The reason is that we do not want to regard too much cases in the skinning engine. Moreover, there may be other side effects if we change the behavouiour of loaded images.
Best regards,
Your Silverjuke-Team

Pity. I expected you'd just have to match RGBA instead of RGB, probably a one-line fix in a hand full of places...
But I can understand the side effects: if another designer has goofed and bled transparancy in the border they would then wind up with the problem 
Slightly () related: do you know a way to set 100% transparent pixels to a specific color in Photoshop?

Heya SilverEagle - in PSP you can maybe click on the transparent region then magic wand select it (I'm sure there is an equiv in photoshop but never tried it) then use some or other color swap function to do it. Never tried tho - usually trying to get TO transparency ^^.
GL tho would be interesting to hear if u get there.
