You don't even have to get that far away from true white. You can use RGB(255, 255, 254). I guarantee noone could ever tell the difference. ;) That's the way I always treat my bitmaps. I never did like using mask files.

>If you don't want to create MSK files, you can edit your BMP and set the white to almost white, something like RGB(250, 250, 250). It works on VFP 6.
