Hey, Ofnuts

Not sure if you meant me but, the background was there before I uploaded to Imgur or any other forum.

Took the image off the net -> Uploading into GIMP -> Added Alpha Channel to all layers -> Removed the background -> In GIMP is plays perfectly with a transparent background -> I Export it -> Has a white background in output file.

It is probably the 'tool' you are using to view the gif I use linux so I do not have those you referenced

exanple: nview on the left does not show transparency (shows white) Same image and viewnior on right does.
Some web browsers can be the same, Firefox shows white, Slimjet shows a checker pattern.

Hey, Rich

Fair enough with the tools but the photo viewing application I'm using wouldn't show a background if it was transparent, however it's transparent in GIMP and in the GIMP play back the output file, however, is not.
