Do you have down syndrome? That was EXCRUCIATING to sit through! This is why noobs should not do screen casts. Further, and yet another reason noobs shouldn't be doing screen casts; PNG8 is EXTREMELY limited in its uses and you didn't even talk about that.Unfortunately, other noobs will view your screen cast and think this info is incredible... but that's like the blind leading the blind.

In a heavy graphic design site that was using PNG 24 had about a total of 620kb. Using this trick it went down to about 205kb.I was using Fireworks CS3, made the changes like in the video and picked Export. I don't care about IE 6 anymore, was only interested in this trick because of the filesize. Thank you for this tip, it works great!

I have a slice the needs to repeat 7 with drop shadow, but it doesn't seem to render the drop shadow.@jackson I think this is a good alternative to hacks or alerting the users to upgrade. With this method, IE6 users are still able to use your site but at a cost (ugliness). This way, you can also provide an alert letting them know it is time to upgrade their browser if they want things to look better. Does this method work with drop shadows?
