    Hi Nigel,

    The icons are sadly not transparent. The image has a black background.

    Regardless, to remove the icon background (which is separate to the icon and also has a background) you’ll need to use CSS. If you navigate to AppearanceCustom CSS, you’ll get our custom CSS editor. Just add the following code.

    #panel-780-0-0-1 .sow-icon-container {
    	color: transparent !important;
    }
    

    You might also need to install the SiteOrigin CSS Editor.

    OK. Great.

    It seems as though the transparency gets dropped when wordpress resizes the image:

    Hi Nigel,

    Ah. Okay, so that’s a server issue. I would recommend converting the image to a PNG 24 format. That typically has the best support from servers by default so you’ll end up with less issues during the conversion.
