Philippe Hennes commented on TOBAGO-69:
---------------------------------------

There is a bug regarding png images in IE. IE ist not capable of displaying 8bit png's with alpha transparency without an proprietary filter [1]. 
As a workaround you can use 24bit png images or gif's.

Alternativly you can change the grey background by assigning a new background color:
Photoshop: Just select the mask color option, and set the color picker to the color of the background the picture is intended to sit on.
Gimp: In Gimp you can check "save background color" in the png export dialog.
