Using image with transparency

I'm wondering if it's possible and/or what format I need to use in order to use images successfully with transparency with Phoca Favicon. When I create a favicon using a GIF or PNG image (that contains transparency) it doesn't appear properly in the Internet Explorer 7 tab. In the end I've had to use a square image with no rounded corners to look nice, but if I use a rounded image that contains transparency around the edges, Favicon doesn't appear to create it with transparency intact.
Any ideas? Help please...

Hi there, what I am hoping for is a circle, with a transparent background creating the circle look. I get the circle, but it's surrounded by a black square background. Is this the same problem as in this thread?? Hope not! How can I get a circle, and if it's a transparency problem, will this be fixed/supported very soon, big please!
Thanks for your time.

Hi,
I am waiting for this too. So I had to uninstall the plugin until it works the way it should (with transparency)
for now you can use one of the following pages (just to help you):
http://www.degraeve.com/favicon/
http://www.htmlkit.com/services/favicon/
... by the way (off topic question to the developer), what did you use to put phpbb into Joomla ?
cheers

Hi, the problem is creating the transparency with GD on the server.
the phpbb is not implemented to Joomla! here.
