PNG Avatars

I know everyone knows about this, and really doesn't mind it, but it's starting to bug me a bit. If you set an image with an invisible back drop as your avatar, the back drop becomes white, and the image looks crappy.

I know this can be overcome very easily by just adding a gray back ground to your image, regardless, how hard would it be to change this?

If this could be changed, thanks.

If not, still thanks for running such a great forum. xD

You don't need a gray background... You just go into photoshop and set a transparent background then c+p your render/picture or create text on top of the render.
