How can I make my Dawn theme collection images transparent?

Topic summary

A user updated their Dawn theme to version 12.0.0 but continues experiencing an issue where PNG collection images with transparent backgrounds display with white backgrounds on their homepage, despite appearing transparent when checked locally on their computer.

Another participant suggested uploading two specific test images to verify functionality. The original poster confirmed these test images work with transparent backgrounds, but they don’t match the existing design aesthetic.

The discussion remains open with the core question unresolved: how to make the user’s original collection images display with transparent backgrounds as intended. The issue appears to be theme-specific rather than file format-related, since test PNGs work correctly.

I just updated my Dawn theme to 12.0.0 and am still having the same issue. My collection images, shown on my home page, are png’s with transparent backgrounds but they’re showing white. How can I get them transparent? I even checked them on my computer and they are still transparent.

Hello,

You please use both given images for collection and let’s us know how its work.

That works, however it they don’t match the rest. What do I do to make them so they are transparent backgrounds?
