I don't understand, as it is now you have to manually edit the colors on almost any new image you want to use in the game (most commonly that would be logo's for most of us). If a rare color (besides black) was used as the transparent color wouldn't that be an improvement? Most games happen to use a gaudy pink as this rare color but I've seen lime green used as well.
