Heya,

Unfortunately, that is not really possible. The gif format doesn't support semi-transparency. One pixel color can be transparent (which is commonly the pink color in RO, or 0xff00ff). While... this is possible to support, it would also make any other semi-transparent pixel look horrible with shades of pink for any of your other semi-transparent layers (I'd show you an example, but I'm on phone right now). It's a limitation of the gif format, there's not much I can do there. That's why I didn't really bother with transparency support while saving gif images and instead opted of rendering the str as they are directly shown in the preview window. I would suggest simply changing the background to black to make these gifs as this is when you'll have the best output. Alternatively, you could change the background color to wherever you plan on displaying these gifs, but you'll quickly see white background isn't a great choice for most str. Saving those animations is just really troublesome.

The only real "solution" I could come up with is saving the output as a series of PNG images (which I'm not sure is actually possible, but worth looking into). Though, that wouldn't really solve what you're trying to do, at least I don't think...?

Thanks a lot for answering, ok I didn't know the gif format was this troublesome . 

Don't worry about it, I just wanted to make "clean" gifs to send them on discord so it's not that big of an issue to have a solid background.

Hello !
First of all thanks a lot for creating this software it's wayyy more convenient than the other alternatives.
I have a little question, would it be possible for the "Save as Gif" option to create Gifs with transparent background because when I set the opacity of the background to 0 the output gif has a solid background composed of the grid that's shown on the editor.
