Feed bug? (not a really bug, but picture bug)

xmar_13 • 21 March 2014 at 7:43 AM

When you feed your egg, sometimes a cauliflower or a broccoli (sometimes with cheese) shows up but with a white background.

It looks kinda strange since non of the other food has that.

Something with the .PNG maybe?

Or is it just me? My browser is Safari tho..

No, it's not just you, it happens to everyone with a lot of the new foods, but apparently it's not considered a bug. The food is saved as JPEG instead of PNG so it's a transparency issue. JPEG does not support transparency.

And, yes, @Orderedchaos, I know this has been discussed before, but honestly: It IS a bug. A design bug.
Take it from someone who works daily as a web and graphic designer. JPEG instead of PNG is bad when the image doesn't match the background.
If you guys for some reason can't get the images with transparent backgrounds then maybe you should change the grey box to white? Because people are going to continue to think this is a bug and rightfully so because design wise it really is a bug. (Sorry for being bothersome.) 😉

The decision to have the items with a white background is a wholly intentional one from what I understand. We acknowledge that these white backgrounds might not be too pleasing on the eyes design-wise... it's still a work in progress, after all. The food items still need to be formatted a bit, especially the ones like the subs/original food which have a transparent background/different sizes.

This stuff has been long-fixed now. Sorry for the late reply.
