Problems with gifs with transparent color

Hello everybody!

The background-color from the mainarea is light yellow and from the toolbar is light blue.
The products are supposed to 'sit' directly on the background.
So in the mainarea the product-image has a light yellow and in the toolbar a light blue background.
So I choose gif-type with transparent background for my product-images.

But when the images are scaled, they will get a border. If the original was stored with no base/background the border will be black, if base was set to white, the border will be gray...:-(

I was fiddling around with ImageMagick at the command line.
convert -fill '#ffc' (->set color)
-opaque transparent (->all transparent pixels will get the color ffc)
-geometry 160x160 image_1.gif image_2.gif
could do the job.

So I tried to implement a new image-alias in image.ini.append:
AliasList[]
AliasList[]=medium_yellow

[medium_yellow]
Reference=
Filters[]
Filters[]=fill=-fill '#ffc'
Filters[]=opaque=-opaque transparent
Filters[]=geometry/scaledownonly=160;160

It doesn't work.
Is this the right syntax?
I found it here: http://ez.no/community/forum/suggestions/more_image_filters_text_on_image
Do I have to tell EZ somewhere else about these new filters?
Or is convert limited to the filters mentioned in
http://ez.no/ez_publish/download/changelogs/ez_publish_3_3/new_image_system?

Or does anybody have another good idea, how to solve the transparency problem?
