Issue with logout icon

[sharath kumar]

We are facing issue with loading icon edges for logout. If we set
light gray for corners of the icon, it is looking good when background
is light. But when the background is dark, corners are visible and not
looking good.

The loading file is a GIF file.

Make two logos?
This is a classical problem with Gif files, with their all or nothing transparency.
Same problem with old Windows icons, for example.

Or you could use a PNG… (8bit-alpha flavors work well in old versions of IE)

I wonder what the relationship with GWT is, though.

Well, if they use a Gif for the animation capability ("loading icon"? but not sure about
the "logout" part), PNG can't help them, otherwise (if it is static), it is the best
choice, of course, with progressive transparency to blend with any background.

Indeed... Beside that's a Web technique question.
