Hi,

I'm trying replace the white border from the logo below so that you can see through it.
However, I'm quit a beginner when it comes to graphics. Can you give me a pointer so that I can get started. I made some progress when I used the png format. The radiobutton next to transparent always seems to be greyed out.

Thanks!

Sure. You are using jpg. That does not support transparency (sometimes called alpha). You have to use gif/png for that. For logos of any sort you should always go like this (from best to worst):
svg > png > gif > jpg
But saving from jpg to png will not magically delete the white pixels. So you have to crop it out. That is really annoying thing to do. So try to find out .png version of the logo.

aaand I found it here
Also this is unrelated to cmder so I am closing this one 🔨

A part of the question is indeed unrelated. Now that I found I have a good info (thanks for that :) How did you find it so quickly?) I am seeing the alhpa/transparent part of the image as a black border.

I was actually expecting it to be "see through". For this I have to tweak the cmder settings right? I suspect the "Replace color indexes" has to do with it but I don't understand the relation.

Can you help me with this last part? That would be very kind.

It looks like ConEmu is not supporting transparent images. But you can download the this image and set it as a bg and it should work fine :)
