This is desirable behavior since it allows you to employ non-rectangular
regions.

Are you talking about the blendLevel property?  In any event, the GIF itself
is not affected, the image object that displays the GIF is what you are
setting the property for.  But the net result is what you see on screen: a
GIF with a different appearance.

Better would be to get in the habit of using a transparent object to manage
display of other objects/images, or display images via a button.
