Image problem using BLACK SHADOW on V1-4-9-4

Hi, I have installed template Black Shadow on my Version 1-4-9-4. It seems to work well on this version, with the exception that all the images, be it thumbnail through to enlarged image all have thick white lines down either side, or top and bottom. I understand that all my images have been uploded as rectangles and they are processed onto a square white template, but can anybody throw some light on:- a, where this process is in the program, b, if I can change the original template 'square' from white to transparent so that the white stripes disappear, or c, possibly change the shape of the square to that of the image that sits on(in) it ? It is not practical to change the images from rectangle to square and reload them, so a change in the program is my only option.

Answers:
a) "system/library/image.php" at line 82, you'll find: This sets the background colour for the resized image.

b) If you use .png images with a transparent background, the transparency will be retained. This won't work for .jpg images, as jpeg can't handle transparencies.

c) Change the size in your settings. Log in to your admin, go to "System->Settings" and "Edit" the relevant store. Under the "Image" tab, you can set the sizes of the various images used.
