I see they are still in BMP. Get with the times, nobody uses bitmaps anymore.

Use something else like PNG or something.

I kind of wonder if that would work. I know with BMPs you can make a transparent background. I dunno if PNG supports that or not.

I'm pretty sure the code just takes a certain color and makes it transparent or throws it into an invisible graphics layer. BMP doesn't support transparency, that's GIF.

Actually some .BMPs support it, I only heard of 256 color BMP though. But I haven't looked into it much.

I'm prety sure .bmp doesn't support it unless you get another program to do it such as a .jpg editor.
This isn't a signature, you just think it is

BMP dpesn't support transparency! What does is widows API functions for painting BMPs on screen.

I made a little graphics engine that loads BMPs, GIFs, PNGs and JPGs to memory. Then you can choose a color of the loaded image for transparency and paint on any windows surface.
