I am almost certain that OpenRPG does not have transparency. All of the images are forced into BMP format. This is a limitation of wx.Python as far as I know.
I can also verify that Traipse can supports transparency. Of course, this only works if the file is in a format that supports tranparency (like .npg) and O-RPG can read the format.
The best way to get transparency, if there isn't any already, is either Photoshop or GIMP (for those who don't have 2000 $
).
This works best if the background in your original has only one colour: Use "Fuzzy selection (Magic wand)" on the background, invert the selection, copy seletcted picture in a new picture with a "transparent" background. Save as .png.
Note that most File-Formats that use transparancy tend to create much bigger files than .jpg (.png can be 2-3 times as big), so keep that in mind when you have to upload it to a server first. But for most times, you shoudn't get to close to 100 KiB with your miniatures.
