Re: Transparency stuff
Your example doesn't illustrate well your question... :-)
I just tried: I made with Gimp a PNG image with variable transparency (a large fuzzy pen over a transparent background) and saved it. I then loaded it with Scratch (wow, it is sooo slow to browse folders while making its thumbnails on my old computer...) as a sprite... and I found out it cuts the transparency at perhaps 50%, in a all or nothing way.
Too bad... :-(
So, that's a +1 on your suggestion from me! :-D

Re: Transparency stuff
I support.
Then I could put this in scratch without jagged edges:
Well, the black edges.

It has transparency, transparency which you can actualy see is there. You can see the silly face behind can't you?

OHH
Well then it's a bad example... Not FULL transparency is the suggestion here, we already have that.

Ok... hmmm... how on earth would they add that into scratch? Like a block which lets you set the transparency of a certin colour? or section selector?

Re: Transparency stuff
I think you can do something like that in Paint.NET, set the opacity on a certin colour. That would really help smoothing out the edges on sprites and making them look a lot better.

Re: Transparency stuff
I quickly make an image (with mouse!), so it is ugly, but it should illustrate the idea.
Tr = Image with transparency
Bg = Some random background
Tr+Bg = Image over background
Scr = First image as seen by Scratch (nearly all transparency is lost)
As you can see, the background image is partially altered by the colors of the foreground image.

Thats ok, but it doesn't really apply to the subject at hand.

Really?
Thus we don't have the same understanding of the sentence "semi transparent parts in the sprites".
Well, I just don't see how that is an example of Semi-transparency.
Has anyone noticed that when you try to make a fill with it going from a colour to transparency, and it replaces transparent with black?

Yeah, scratch puts black behind semi transparent stuff. Drag my example into scratch to see what I mean.

The bottom of my glass, and the top-left part (among others) have semi-transparency: they have color, but let the background to be seen through them. Thus coloring partially the background. When loaded in Scratch (try it, that's 
image), it becomes either solid color or transparent part (the small white part in the top-left of the glass).
