PNG files NOT supported as product images?

[rassy]

Hi guys,

 

I need to have transparent PNG product images. The admin-backend accepts .png files for product images, BUT they are converted into non-transparent JPG files when displayed in the product list.

 

This is the code which is used in the listing to get the image-link:

<img src="{$link->getImageLink($product.link_rewrite, $product.id_image, 'home')}" height="{$homeSize.height}" width="{$homeSize.width}" alt="{$product.name|escape:html:'UTF-8'}" />

 

MY QUESTION:

Is there a way to have transparent PNG images for products? I am hoping that there is a work-around. Help :-)

 

I would be really thankful for some tips.

 

Kind regards

Rassy

Yep go to admin/preferences/image and you'll find the options in the second panel.
