i am getting different results when compiling the app,
see the attached image for explanation.

The top one is the toolbar in ff3's editor. the bottom
one is the compiled app.

BMP or ICO files?  If ICO are they using transparent as the color, or if BMP they may need styles set for what colors are transparent...perhaps even using a certain color with some styles for highlight/shadow/face colors, etc.

Hi Elias,

There is no masked color setting in FF toolbar. If there is then the mask color you need is white - to make any dots that is white in your image to appear transparent.

I make all my icons as ico files with an icon maker software. The surrounding area are made transparent. This way, I do not need the mask color setting and I can use them anywhere (toolbar, tabcontrol, etc) without them appearing as squares.
