I remember reading, long ago, that you could use an image file with transparent elements as your desktop image, so that if you were to change the background colour, the image would fit right in, you wouldn't have to recreate it with the new background colour. Can anyone else remember this? And does anyone know the exact settings? I've tried to create said image as both a TIFF and a PNG in Photoshop, but whenever I apply them as my Desktop image, where they should be transparent they are black.

Help?
