Description:
SVGs are renderes to PNG by the mediawiki software. As Internet Explorer can not
display transparent areas in these images, he showes them with some sort of
default-color (some blue-gray thing). This lookes pretty ugly and prevents the
svg-images to be used in articles. (lots of coat of armes and logos are effected
by this). (ex.: [[Image:CDU_logo.svg]])
It is possible to define a background color into the png image, which is not
shown by modern browsers. In gimp you can choose "Hintergrundfarbe sichern"
(german version, should be something like "save background color") when saving
as png to do this. White would be a good choice. Result: Forefox, Opera and
others show still everything perfect (transparent), Internet Explorer showes a
white background.
For an example with different images see URL above.
Maybe this can be fixed easily within the configuration of the svg renderer.
