Creating custom graphics with transparent sections

[bosco]

I have made graphics using Paintshop Pro and saved as wmf files. When I bring them into Lookout, the transparency is not retained. Are there any suggestions?

I have tried doing what you are doing, but sometimes it is successful and sometimes it is not. I don't have a definite answer to your question.

But try opening your graphic in PSP and go to

>> COLORS
>> Set Transparency Color
>> Set Transparency Color to current background color

And save it as a .bmp. I don't think I have ever been able to get the .wmf to work with transparency.

Hope this helps.
