LaTeX White Backgrounds on LaTeX in Math: DE's on Google Chrome

[NeoDevin]

A minor bug: I'm using Google Chrome browser, I just posted a thread in Math: DE's and all the latex are showing up with white backgrounds, instead of clear.

Not a serious issue, just letting you know it's there.

If I remember correctly, Greg said chroot was aware of it, and looking into it.

It's something chroot will do as time allows, I believe. His priority was to get it working after the server change.

Sounds good. I didn't see any threads on the subject already, so I figured I would put it up so you guys know about it.

Thanks for the responses.

It's always best to bring up things you notice, just in case.

I wonder if the lack of transparency in the recent \LaTeX posts
has something to do with the "number of colors" in the .png files... and some setting related to that.
It seems that [at least some of ] the old images (which did appear transparent) are 16-color images
while the new images appear to be 16-million-color images.

I've made chroot aware of this thread.

i seem to remember something like this happening in the past (with some previous server). is there any recall for what was the cause and the cure back then?
