>Hi, I'm finishing doing an upgrade to an application I developed near a decade. So they asked me to change the icon set (.bmp files) for all my buttons and menus so the users recognize the changes visually also. I was searching on the Internet for icon sets but I find them mostly in .png format, I tried some of them but when I use them in my application, the transparent regions of the pictures turn into black or white in some cases, so I would have to edit them and save them in .bmp format and adding a .msk file for white regions. I have a lot of icons (.bmp) but I don't want to waste my time editing the .png icons. Is there a way to use .png pictures in my application without having to edit and changing all of them into .bmp files?

Hi,
Usualy PNG pictures respect transparancy for VFP9, dont know why yours turn into black.
No use to add a .MSK file to a PNG file as the .MSK exclusively works with BMP files.
Please upload one of your PNG files here, I will see if it easy to change.
Do you know IranView ? This is a very handy little, free utility to make a bulk convertion on a set of files.
Regards,
Koen
