IE8 beta 2 still has some PNG compatibility issues – specifically the "darkened PNG" issue.
Simply put, Internet Explorer darkens PNG images. If you view the same PNG image in Firefox, Opera, Safari, and Google Chrome, the colors are consistent across browsers, except for IE.
Since IE8 is supposed to resolve many CSS compatibility issues, I would hope the "darkened PNG" issue would be resolved as well.
I posted the issue on the Microsoft discussion group - microsoft.public.internetexplorer.beta.
Per Microsoft…
“Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes….”
If your a web developer that's sick of dealing with browser compatibility issues, please head over to the Microsoft discussion group and vote on the post with the subject “IE8 Compatibility Mode carries over the "darkened PNG" issue.”
Thanks!
