jQuery Cycle, transparent pngs and IE rendering hell

Using jQuery Cycle to transition transparent pngs with a fade – IE has… issues.

I used:

• wrapped each png in a div
• added img filter for IE
• cleartype: true, cleartypeNoBg: true for Cycle
• unitpngfix.js
• added class=”unitPng” only to the images that were fading in Cycle

Things worked better afterwords with no halo around the pngs with alpha.
