Hi
Is simple

If you add this code in Load event, pointing to each picture used in buttons, transparency is showed correctly because caching I suppose.
Sample

_screen.AddObject('image','image')
_screen.image.picture = "1downarrow.png"

You can do even better, by adding a property to your form base class, consisting in a comma delimited list of PNGs (without paths), parse and assign each picture to an image control in Load event.
You will need many image controls, one for each picture used on buttons

Is complicated, but true color PNGs with transparency looks very nice compared with BMP/MSK pictures.


>>You can find PNGs used in Linux themes, most of them free.
>>Search for slick,nuvola themes, are cool.

>>But you need to trick VFP to show transparency when used on buttons by loading them in some image control first.
