Re: Transparency in images

There is also the accessibility concern that if you use a transparent image which may look great on a white background, but will it still be viewable when the reader switches to night mode?

Hello. Can someone tell me whether transparency layers in PNG and GIF are supported in EPUB3? I assume since every viewer shows a white box around images it must not be, but I also can't find anywhere in the spec that says it shouldn't work. I'm trying to determine if we just have to live with ornaments in the text being in white boxes when users change the background color of the reader.
