RE: [platform-swt-dev] Resolved: To properly support MacOSX, SWT needs to support TIFF


I think the key word in "workaround" is "work".   PNG works fine.  See swt.internal.PNGFileFormat.

I would like to see this too, but transparency in PNG files is broken on at least Win2k, I think due to a broken PNG decoder in Win32.  Internet Explorer exhibits the same broken behavior as Eclipse but Netscape/Mozilla doesn't.  

If I'm right, SWT would probably need its own PNG decoder in order to do this right.  Not that this should be too hard with all the open source code out there for doing PNG decoding.
