Strainge PNG Background in Book Details
Hi.
In my books, I usually use a PNG image as a ebook cover, with transparent background, such as: But, when I add it in Calibre, it appears with a cracked grey-white-black background in the Book details section: In the E-Book Reader, it appears perfect, with a white background, as well as in a Sony PRS-600 and Adobe Digital Editions. Is it a Calibre error? Will it be fixed? Or I'll have to change covers to jpg with white background? Thanks! |

Actually never mind. calibre doesn't support transparency in covers. So yes you have to convert it to something with a solid background. The next release of calibre will do it automatically for you.

Thank you for your answer! I'll open a ticket and I'll be expecting the new release so all my covers will be displayed properly
Continue improving Calibre! It's awesome! |

Hi, again.
Suddenly, in Calibre version 0.7.13, the background in covers has changed from white to yellow... Could it be white again? Thanks! [IMG] Uploaded with ImageShack.us[/IMG] |

Odd, open a ticket, include a sample png file that gets a yellow background when and mention your OS details.
