GMENU is a gifbuilder object so of course transparentBackground = 1 is 
the correct choice. A closer look into typoscribt by example and tsref 
will help you. transparentBackground = 1 is the simplest answer, but I 
believe you can create a transparent image by combining one image as an 
alpha channel and the intended image using gifbuilder. In fact it is 
very flexible and will give you plenty of choices for whatever you want 
to do.
