Anyone noticed that when you have a white PNG24 in Safari, it shows up grey?

The only PNG issues I’m aware of in Safari are its handling of GAMA chunks. As I understand it other browsers don’t do this because they don’t support gamma on CSS colours which means that you get visible ‘seams’ where background image and colour meet. The old fix was to use a post-processing tool to strip the GAMA chunks out of the PNG directly.
I thought they’d disabled PNG gamma as of MacOS 10.4 though?

Hmm Safari's seeming a bit lame. I guess apple may've given up on it with the rising success of FireFox.

Oh no, absolutely not. Although I use Firefox in preference of Safari the Webkit team have done an excellent job; so much so that the latest Webkit builds are pretty much the best engine for CSS going. Apple certainly haven’t dropped it.
