Transparent Icon

How do you set a transparency color in an icon?

I though there was something to do with the upper left most pixel. But when I set it to say white, then all the white is displayed black.
 
What kind of icon? an *.ico file or a *.gif? I know you can purchase
software that will change the transparency of *.gif files, but *.ico's are
different. If you're trying to use *.gif's, I would suggest Jasc PaintShop
Pro 9, available online at http://www.jasc.com/store/? for $95 (pretty good
price).

For *.ico's, I've heard of a program called MicroAngelo, but I don't know
anything about it.

Hi :-)

Here are a couple of programs (free) that I use and they work very well. You might try them:

Iconoid

(If you have XP you will need to read the note about XP)

Here are a few more, including one for GIF's. I use both the Iconoid and the MS GIF Animator:
