   Then the button looks correct on blogs with a non-white background.

   Alternatively, a small white border around the whole image would be OK.

   Thanks.

   Hi there,

   If we did that then anyone with a black background site or dark site wouldn't be able to see the tweet count so as such we will be leaving it as is for now.

   Many thanks

   Would it be possible to have a small white border around the whole image, outlining the grey count box and the green retweet button, instead?

   Thanks.

   We have no plans to change the button at all at this time and do not do individual user customization.

   Many thanks for your request.

   Your response is pretty unprofessional. You would rather put your tweetmeme image on a white background then transparent so people on dark backgrounds can see it. I think it is really sad that you give people no control over your tweetmeme button style. I would like to use it on our site, but I am not going to since I can;t have a transparent background. Every other button type out there allows for this or at the very least some background colors. I really think this is your loss.

   I think you missed my point slightly. If you make it transparent then we would then have to make the text colour configurable as well because on a black background it would show with black text as the button stands currently. In fact on any dark background, if the white section were made clear it would not work.

   We aren't planning on making the text colour or background colours configurable at this time but we have put in the feature request into our system.

   Hi everyone,

   There seems to be a little bit of a misunderstanding here.

   The background of the IFRAME that the button resides in *is* transparent. However, we have observed it being oddly white on some sites - this is due to the site itself having a stylesheet that doesn't permit it to be transparent.

   To make the background transparent, add the following to your stylesheet:
   iframe { background: transparent; }

   What Sarah is talking about is the off-gray background of the box that the tweet count sits in, which as she pointed out, is not configurable.

   I hope this clarifies and solves your problem!

   Hi Nick

   I've inserted it into my style sheet but it doesn't seem to be working - is there anywhere specifically it needs to sit?

   Cheers

   Hi Ben,

   Since the default behaviour is to have a transparent background, there's a good chance another part of your stylesheet is forcing it to be white.

   Place the following towards the bottom of your stylesheet:

   iframe { background: transparent !important; }

   That should make it override any previous declarations.

    Even using the code you suggested Nick I still have this problem with IE 8 on XP, and likely other IE browsers as well.

    It displays fine in Firefox

    Hi DefconRhall,

    There's a couple of nasty workarounds for this, you could check out this thread for an idea on how to do it with javascript, but this is not a problem that we cannot directly address ourselves. http://www.codingforums.com/archive/index.php/t-88699.html
