Dear Glide community,  
great work on the Glide App, I love it !

I am trying to upload a logo… in .png in circle and with external in transparent background  
But it keeps coloring the background that I want transparent with the accent color… displaying a squared icon on my mobile desktop instead of a circle one…

Did I miss something ?  
Why the transparent background is not working ?

Try to use a white background instead of a transparent one, because from my understanding Glide automatically fills in with your theme color unless you have a background color.
