You will have to edit your image in your image editing tool and specify that the background colour is to be transparent. How you do it will depend on the tool, but look for menus like "Set palette transparency" and an option "Set the transparency value to the current background colour". Most tools also let you manually specify a colour/palette location but if your background colour is not used elsewhere in your image, the option I mention above is the easiest way.

I would think that the experience should be identical.

Thanks,
