Toolbar icons issue

[Elias Montoya]

Hello, i am creating a toolbar in my form but it looks ugly when compiled.
Here is a screenshow, the left one is the design form and the right one
is what i get when i compile and run the form:



Any ideas?

If you are using icons in the toolbar then make sure that you set the pixels to 'transparent' using your favourite icon editor. The reason it looks different in the designer and in the compiled code is because it looks like I am using the %LR_LOADMAP3DCOLORS flag in the designer but not in the compiled code. This allows the "gray" pixels to become transparent in the designer. FireFly 3 has a much better toolbar editor and code generation. I hope that the current implementation will not be too much of an inconvenience until FF3 is released.

 Since it is only a cosmetic issue, i have no problems waiting. Thanx Paul.

Oh, one question, will I be able to port my FF 2.x to FF 3.x when the
time comes?

Yes you will. I have the code built to automatically convert FF 2 projects to FF 3. It seems to work okay for the existing projects that I have. The test will come when everyone else tries to convert their projects. I expect that there may be a need for some manual intervention to clean up some areas but for the most part it should all be automatic.
