Hi,

I have a notify icon and have been trying to make the background color
transparent. But do .ico files allow a transparent color? when i select
the image for the notify icon it askes for type .ico. now i know i can set
a transparent background with png's ect, but can i use tranparent (colors)
with an ico?

thanks
