Theme png problem

I've a problem with some pics png...
An example:
status.png, with 7 16x16 pics with all status.
If I draw some white content into that png, when it's loaded into &RQ the white is equal to transparency (bleah!!!)...
what's the workaround?

I work with photoshop 6 and I save in PNG-8 format... boh!

Thanks to all, TC

WHen youre workin in the Photoshop...switch the RGB color mode ,,when you finish editing the png switch to Indexed color and save as png.
This should help..guess i've had the same problem

Also try using only 256 color files...not less...to be corectly displayed in the sys tray..etc.

After a lot of tests...

I've got the best results (clean pics, trasparency ok, white and black ok), with this settings (Save for Web, Photoshop):

=> On the left
PNG-8
"Custom"
No Dither
[X] Trasparency
No Trasparency dither

=> On the right
[X] Interlaced
Colors: 220 (or 256)
Dither: disabled (gray)
Matte: a blue...
Amount: disabled (gray)
Web Snap: 100%

Thank MIDAS!
