[mapserver-users] HTML Legend vs Transparency in Layer

[Steve Lime]

Problem is that your transparency is occurring over other layers (e.g. aerial photos) so it will never
match unless you're drawing over the same background (typically defined by IMAGECOLOR) in
both cases. I'm not sure how easy a fix it is. Feel free to create a ticket though.
