Gridscreen poster PNG transparency?

In the movie portrait type layout that netflix uses, the posters are rectangles. You can load in PNG images for the poster graphics on a grid screen, however, transparency shows up as black. Is there any way to support true transparency for this scenario?

Re: Gridscreen poster PNG transparency?

Transparency on PNGs used to work with the grid screen prior to 2.9 (maybe 2.8 ). I reported it broken awhile back, but never received a response. I eventually just updated my graphics/icons to work with a black background.
