Oregano's rendering of alpha transparency appears to be excellent on both plain and textured backgrounds. The only obvious bug is the lack of gamma correction on the two lefthand (palette-based) toucans. All three single-toucan images were created on a NeXT system (with a native "gamma" value of 1.0--PCs are typically 2.2), resulting in very dark images if the viewing application fails to do gamma correction.

Other than the palette glitch, Oregano does gamma correction consistently for all image types and HTML and CSS colors, as this shot of Glenn Randers-Pehrson's gamma-test page shows. Its linked PNG image is 74814 bytes:
