Icon background changes color : Black 1

[Mezzzo]

Hi Group


When I add icons to the imagelist the icons look fine. Then I close the app and reopen then the background becomes black. I`m thinking that the transparent background of the icons isn`t truely transparent. I might have to remove the background or find images with no background color. Just a guess.
Note: I am using form theme software: ActiveSkin...Am wondering if that control has an affect on the icons.

Thanks

I had a similar problem, and found that if I loaded the icons into the imagelist each time the app loaded, the backgrounds remained transparent.

Thanks for the answer

I am a newbie at this... how do I load the icons. I tried this syntax but no luck: ImageList2.Add , "open", LoadPicture(App.Path & "\open.gif")

Try:

ImageList.ListImages.Add(, , LoadPicture(App.Path & "\open.gif")

Hi

I never did get the loadPicture syntax to work. I did
change the images for the toolbar from ico to bmp and
so far the problem of a black background has not shown
up.

Thanks for the help.
