Unordered list list-style-image should be IE6-compatible (8-bit)

Description

Bug showing on Firefox

See this page for sample: http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Previewnote?useskin=vector

As we can see, the bullet list symbol (parsed from * xx) does not have a transparent background and it caused a white square to be shown on the green table. (Picture attached, viewing on Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.11) Gecko/2009060215 Firefox/3.0.11 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)) This only appears in vector skin.

So, can we change the background to transparent? Thanks a lot.

The new version of the image still has some white dots in it. Can't this be changed into a transparent image? See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_talk:Vector.css#Background_of_lists for an example.

If the icon is made to be 24bit, it will not render properly in IE 5 and 6.

It's now changed (as of r53630) from being anti-aliased to a white matte to not anti-aliased at all.

It renders over dark backgrounds without artifacts, but will not look as smooth on lighter ones.

The bullet icon on bits.wikimedia.org is *still* the 24-bits version; all bullets still show with a grey background in IE6. Can someone correct this?

(Attached correct version for convenience.)

I discovered the bug has regressed during r78011 in december 2010.
