Thread: Navbar Icons

Navbar Icons Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

I'm looking for some direction on creating snazzy transparent icons for Navbar items. I believe an ico file is the format to go but I'm having trouble getting them transparent.

Are there tools available to create the transparency (like the account, contact etc icons).

Thx
Leon

I have used several type of images, not just icos succesfully in the past.
Also, I don't recall exactly but there was something going on with the top left byte. I want to say it was related to the effect when the button was depressed.

With ICO files you have different Sizes and Color resolutions, so you have to deal with it. I typically use a combination of Paint, Photoshop and Visual Studio to work on my icon files (you can open the ICO files on VS or you can open the EXE (or DLL) files and extract the Icons from the Embedded resources....

Leon, go to http://www.iconexperience.com/ and get their V/X collection (this is what SLX used) - you also get a handy tool to convert png/gifs/bmps with transparency.
