Re: Icons in VS .net 2002

Visual Studio does NOT use RGB 128, 128, 255 to signal transparent colors.
These may be the colors shown for transparent areas (which, as I pointed out
can be changed). But it is not the pixel value used to signify transparent
areas. I could look at an icon if you wanted to provide one but it sounds
like you have this color in the icon where you wanted transparent pixels to
be.

Haven't played with this for a while but I believe it's a simple matter
to change the colors used for the transparent regions of an icon in VS.
You should be able to click on the transparent color in the palette or
something like that and it pops up a color dialog, where you could change
the transparent color to something different.

Yes, this is possible once an icon is open - that is the problem: The
initial transparent colour is RGB 128,128,255, .so when you change the
transparent colour, it changes all pixels that are RGB 128,128,255 to the
new colour, which for us changes most of the body of our icons! We need to
permanently choose a different transparent (background) colour for Visual
Studio to use by default when opening icons? Can this be done?
