 Replying to [comment:2 azaozz]:
 > Unfortunately GIFs support only 256 colors which is not enough for the
 nice menu icons. As far as I remember there's a patch for IE6 to make it
 handle transparent PNGs so if somebody is stuck with it (IE6 has been
 "dead" for some years now), at least they can patch that.

 PNG images for menus are 8-bit; 2^8=256 => PNG to GIF conversion should be
 lossless.
