Just wondering if any SL users have ever encountered this when working with custom styles.

So, I've created a PNG with a transparent background:



When I use this image to create a level in the editor, the transparent part appears black, covering any terrain behind it:



Bizarrely, SuperLemmini recognises it as transparent:



Anyone know what's going on here and how to fix it? It just makes building levels with this style that bit more cumbersome.

Any suggestions welcome!

Just in case anyone else experiences this, try saving the images as 32-bit PNGs. This resolved the issue for me (thanks @namida).
