so like, i made my own faction icon.
and i wanted a clear background, so i went and cleared it with a program called GIMP.
the thing is when i open it with paint or windows picture manager the original background is still there, now i dont know if either of those programs support the clear background but its still bothersome, i went and transfered the pic to my cellphone and same problem there, the background is still there. but when i reopen the picture file in gimp the background is still clear, so how can i be sure it will appear clear in the faction icon screen on pwi?

    Fairly sure it's being caused because those methods you mentioned, they don't support clear backgrounds so they use a default white color.

    Can't really help with putting it in PWI like that because I don't know what file formats they accept and how they convert it.
