my PDF explaining how to make PNG icons using IFX. even if you don't have IFX, look at the explaination and you (hopefully) will understand how transparency works with PNG's.
I do this all the time. PNG icons are great!

also, if you make screen shots, don't save to jpg's. you will end up with ugly artifacts, jpgs being looosy.

save as PNG, iff, any format that has no compression.

that's very odd. at first I thought you had placed the command too early, but just in front of LoadWB is exactly where I have it.

It would be nice to explain your "dumb mistake" so others could learn for your boo boo.

And, frankly, I'd be afraid to change all icons all at once. unless you have a script that you know for sure completely works.
but, i guess i'm a scardy-cat!   :kitty:

aminet - use PowerIcons to be able to use PNG icons and the rest of the searce has a bunch of png icons you can use.

a png icon is a png image which uses the name "blah.info" with PowerIcons installed, it's automatic!
