>I've certainly made masks for some of my icons, but I can't remember what s/w I used, as I have only MS Paint on this 'puter. I probably used Paint Shop Pro (which IS on my other, and CAN make masks), or even possibly ImageEdit, which shipped with my original VFP 3.0.
As to my knowledge, masks do not apply to ICO files.
>If you can't manage this, is your problem the white areas in your icons being transparent on the form? What I've done for this in the past is make an all-white bmp the same size as the required image and underlaid the image with this (set as opaque?) on the report. I haven't that system with me to check at the mo' but you can try it.
In this thread I try to concentrate on ICO files only. There are situations that bitmaps are not allowed, most notorious in the case of the Icon property. So, I'm in search of a solution for ICO files only.
I may have had some success with changing the white color (255,255,255) to (254,255,255) via 'Set Palette' in an old version of Iconforge, but other times this method seemed to fail. I also didn't get it to work when using the icon-editor in Visual Studio C++.

If there’s no willingness to moderate for the sake of good debate, then I have no willingness to debate at all.
