How do I export a transparent gif properly?
So I've been working on a gif file upload for a game I play, which has a transparent center. When I export it, the transparency is filled in completely. is there a workaround for this? Should I just export all the frames as png and use a different program to transform it into an mng?

But use a color picker and check that your transparent area is actually fully transparent.
Colours that are semi-transparent will be exported as solid, so if you have a very, very faint colour, for example a very light see-through blue for a window, when the image is rendered as a gif, it will be solid blue.
That's a limitation of .gif, and not pyxel edit's fault, pngs turned to a gif elsewhere would do the same.
If you view the gif in a web browser or image viewer, it might render as solid, but if it is actually transparent it should look fine in game.
