I have found something real interesting with the "transparent" color in icons. I thought the "darkesh green" was the transparent color for icons. Seems that it works great when the 16x16 icon is displayed in the systray but when displayed on the startmenu the transparent color will change to black. Then I saw the "Pinkish" color in the VS icon editor right under your current selected color so I thought um lets try that. Sure enough it may the startmenu dislpay the transparent background but yep you guest it. It broke the tray menu from displaying transparent. It changed the transparent color to black. This is very annoying. Anyone have any ideas?
 
Correction the "Pinkish" color for transparent will have a white replacement color in the menus. Does pocket pc allow a transparent color

Please could you post a simple application that reproduces the problem?

Thank you in advance,

Can you post attachments or will I have to post code? Maybe I could post a link to a zipped project.
 
Attachments are fine - there's some size limit I think, so trim out the
object code, but otherwise you're ok.

Both methods are fine. You can use any of them.
