title: Sikuli and Images with a Transparant background
body: <p>I am trying to test things out lately with Sikuli and the use of an Image with a Transparant background. </p>
  
  <p>For example with the Sikuli IDE we define: </p>
  
  <pre><code>Image_FireFox = ("FireFox.png")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now I took that "FireFox.png" and I have adjusted it with Paint.NET to make the background transparant. And then I save it again to "FireFox.png", and I put the new .png in the map of where Sikuli orginaly placed it. </p>
  
  <p>When I open the IDE again, that image appears to have a black background (and not transparant). And also the image is not recognized anymore by my Sikuli Script. If I open the image in Windows Viewer, the background is still transparant.</p>
  
  <p>The idea behind it is to make the image better recognized, and then my script would not care if the background of the FireFox icon is white, red or whatever colour. </p>
  
  <p>Does anyone know if there is a way that Sikuli can deal with images with a transparant background? So that finding an icon on the desktop goes better, and the background wouldn't matter anymore. </p>
