[artworks] Transparent background

Can someone please remind me how to do something?

I have a header in mid-blue which I want to display on a web page against
a grey background.

Somehow I've managed to do this in the past, but I'm hanged if I can
remember...

I've created the header in text against a grey background (so that it
anti-aliases into the grey). Then I export the header as a GIF with
transparency. However I am getting the background as grey, not
transparent. If I leave the background as white (background page) and save
with transparency, I get what is expected: the text with a transparent
background. However when it is displayed in a web page with a grey
background, there's an unsightly jagged edge where the text has
anti-aliased to white.

Setting the page colour to the background grey is better, but it's still
not perfect: there are still some white pixels. An idea would be to save
it as a sprite and clear the white pixels, but then I find it difficult to
convert it back to a GIF with transparency :-(

Any ideas?
