Rendering with alpha has issues

Description

(Maybe related to #614)

When you use navit on WinCE and Windows, there are some problems with the alpha rendering of icons and geometries:

Any .PNG OSD graphic has a strange white outline in the areas that aren't solid. As it's only a soft shading, it might be related to some overflows or bad bit-operations? As icons appear normal, it doesn't seem to be .PNG related in general (confirmed with SVN 5539 on WinCE Core 5.0

Another effect is that windows ports cant deal with alpha-color-values in styles.

I don't have the experience, if both bugs are related somehow. Maybe there is a problem in the GFX pipeline in general for this port.

related to ticket #860

cp15 points out, that this is related to the way how alpha is mapped against a chroma key internally. See FAST_TRANSPARENCY in src to take a look for the procedures.

His recommendation for a first workaround is to remove partial transparency as it occures at antialiased surroundings

  • Priority changed from major to blocker

I suggest this as blocker for 0.5.2 for the following reasons:

  • stops designers from contributing, as they are unable to get a final/stable view on their styles/UI/...
