Hi all,
I tried out the import behaviour in LabVIEW 2013 with an image similar to oli's. It has a gradient and looks good in the LV icon editor, but the VI symbol looks similar to oli's gradient, kind of simple, too simple...
So it's right, this behaviour unfortunately has not changed LV 2012 to LV 2013.
But what has changed between these versions is the import of the alpha channel as I posted earlier.
