Originally assigned to: @NickeManarin on GitHub.

I opened a .gif that was created by a different software with ScreenToGif.

I edited it, everything was fine.

Then, when I saved it to a new .gif file, the transparent background was replaced by a black background. How can I fix this? I tried changing the "unchanged pixels" colors, but it doesn't do anything. :/

Up for transparency. It would be enough to replace one color with transparent. Thank you for the program, very nice.

Support for transparency added, but it wont work right now with some features.
You can import your gif with transparency and save them, without turning the background black.

To enabled, just tick the option "Enable transparency". You can let the app detect the transparency in the frame or pick one color to be converted to transparent.

This feature will be available with the next version.
