MPAMPoULAs Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 Hi everybody :) I am making a shell pack for the Gartoon Icons. I have ready everything except the standard buttons for the toolbar. :( I tried to make them with black backcolor but, it didn't work. The best that I did was with Pink backcolor but it looks crappy (see image) So....Can somebody tell me how I can make them better :rolleyes: Or just somebody can...make them for me :p (I will give the resource for the icons if somebody needs them) Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stefanka Posted May 27, 2004 Share Posted May 27, 2004 You must make it with 32bit Alpha Transparents. For this you need GIF Moviegier. Creat a Toolbar in Photoshop-safe it as PSD and open it withGif Moviegier and save it as Filmstrip with Alphachannel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zhangm Supervisor Posted May 27, 2004 Supervisor Share Posted May 27, 2004 Just a quick note: to cheat and get 32bit BMP images without any additional software, all you need is something which can save as transparent PNG files, like Photoshop/Gimp/basically any graphics editor worth its salt. Anyway, save your image as a PNG file, and then open it in MSPaint. Save the file again as a 24bit BMP. It actually gets saved as a 32bit bitmap file. Works like a charm.

Jemek Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Thanks for the tips, but I seem to have run into my own problem. I replaced 204 and 205 with my new bmp, rebooted, and cleared my icon cache, but the bar has not changed whatsoever; any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verbose. Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 I suppose you could try editing it in safe mode instead... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chunter Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 @ Relativity_17 ..ref saving as png.s then changing with mspaint, ican't get photoshop to save the pngs with the alpha layer..what gives ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gecko4 Posted January 12, 2005 Share Posted January 12, 2005 I tried Relativity's method but it doesn't seem to work for my radio buttons for some reason. I made a thread about it. Even using GMG it doesn't work. But what Relativity says is quite right. If you open the properties for a BMP created via this method, and click the advanced tab, you'll see that the depth is 32 bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
