The transparency color is irrelevant to BeatNik. Interlacing is also irrelevant to BeatNik. Although I have to say that interlacing is worthless unless it is used in encoding a GIF file that will be displayed on a web page. Transparency is definitely allowed in the background gif, as is animation. In fact, most BeatNik skins use a background GIF with transparency.
Any help is appreciated.
It runs fine. I tried to upgrade it by animating some of the gifs. The animated versions of these gifs view correctly with irfan view. BN doesn't recognize the skinpack and won't run it. The transparency color is irrelevant to BeatNik.
