Optimizing gif size using transparency ?

I wonder if it's possible to create a gif that supports transparency between frames, in order to reduce size.
foreach (var img in images)
{
var delta = computeDifference(previousImg, img);
previousImg = img;
gif.AddFrame(delta);
}
The idea is to set pixels that do not change between frames as transparent.
I have tried to create such frames (setting transparent pixels to 0x00000000
) but it does not work.
Frames are indeed transparent, but each frame clear the previous one.
It's probably something as simple as setting a flag per frame or for the whole animation.
It seems a requirement is to use a global palette. Local palettes per frame and transparency as explained above seems not possible.
