cut Posted February 17, 2005 Author Posted February 17, 2005 ya ya search.. spent half the day doing that already, all i need to know is how to make transparent bitmaps, and why when i test my oem.ini and oemlogo.bmp it does not show in sys properties after i copy them to my system32 folder.. i used the directions fromhttp://unattended.msfn.org/advanced/cosmetics/oeminfo.htmi made my logo in photoshop but it wont let me save bitmaps with transparent backrounds..
Tsunami Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 So you must've found this topic: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=36999 (6th result when searching for oemlogo.bmp). And you ini should be called oeminfo.ini, not oem.ini (also seen in the guide you posted).
Astalavista Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 I wish MCT would make a guide on how to make a Transparent Bitmap. hint hint. Using Photoshop CS or Corel Draw 11with streaming video.. hint hint wink wink MCT. LOL

^_^ Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 I searched google and found thesehttp://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistan...0758101033.aspxhttp://www.codeproject.com/bitmap/trans_cimage.asphttp://support.installshield.com/kb/view.a...ticleid=Q103849http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q79212/most of it's greek to me, but maybe it will make sense to you smartiepants
Alanoll Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 isn't making it transparent as simple is setting the 0,0 and the far bottom-right pixel to FF00FF ? Then just use that color for whatever you want to be transparent.
Mekrel Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 Hi, im trying to do this atm, but its not going transparent.Im going by Allanols, and SiMonSaYs idea of the 0,0 px and opposite corner colour being the ones representing the transparent colour and saving as 32bit bitmap.Anyone have ago for me? or tell me what i need to do?http://www.meknet.co.uk/oemlogo.psd
SiMoNsAyS Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 (edited) @Alanoll, 0,0 pixel and the last pixel f.e. 150x150 have to be of the same color to be transparent. it also needs to be saved as 256 colors.edit: if you want the image to be 32bits you'll need to create a new alpha layer. search google for tutorials.

bledd Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 search for half life spray guides, they use bitmaps with transparancies -true blue colour = transparant iirc
