Isnt there a color you can use on a BMP to make it transperent like a icon? it used to be you could copy the grey background from a DM which i tried and it wasnt transperent. Has somthing changed? if so that realy sucks...

Yeah. The Lighter grey.

Note it only works with BMP images.

You should do a forum search next time.

I posted something like this about a month ago.

If you have paintshop pro, or any other paint program that supports it, you can set the transparency of any color on the picture, save it as a .png and itll work in Byond.

rgb(192,192,192) exactly. BMP is quite possibly the worst format to be using. PNG retains the quality just as well and takes up a lot less space, especially when you reduce the color depth.
