    haven't read all posts but you can't go wrong with drawing your stuff with the selected bg color and selecting "index transparency" in fireworks when exporting to Gif. dont' use png cause it's much heavier. Whereas png's contain the whole color map in a file Gif's make clones of a given color in a file: so if you have a thing and then a large grey area they just attribute any other pixel/color the info from the first one of the same color. that's why they render faster. the more similar colors you have the more faster it gets compared to other image formats.

    Unless you draw some anti-alias stuff you'll always be dependant on your bg color. so anytime you want to change the bg color you'll have to open fireworks, change the bg color and export it again.

    good evening sir.
