I have been trying to create a simple circle image with semi transparency, however when exported to png the semi transparent areas are no longer semi transparent except in some programs.
I started off in windows, and all my png exports there would display as fully solid when imported into the game engine I was playing with. So I checked them in irfanview, and chrome and it displayed as solid in both of those programs as well.
I switched to linux and found that the exported pngs will show the semi transparent area when opened in Viewnor or Image Viewer but the other image viewer applications showed it as solid, including in chrome and firefox. In the image Viewnior is on the left, the Gimp image is in the center, with firefox and chrome on the right.

How do I export the png to properly preserve the semi transparency in a universal manner?
