Question for Dan/Beuc:

Hmm, I was testing Dinkcraft and noticed transparency wasn't working on some buildings. A closer look shows the bmp itself doesn't use 255,255,255 for white but 252,252,252. (it is at index 255)

So I checked on 1.08, same thing, no transparency.

But I figured there is no way that was intentional so I downloaded freedink and tested it and it DOES properly make that 252,252,252 transparent.

See pic: http://prntscr.com/gmf2jk

Anyway, what am I missing? Does freedink have code that forces index 255 to be transparent? Or perhaps allows "almost white" or something like that? Not sure if should also do that or what.
