[REQUEST] How to create translucent bitmaps?

[zedox]

some one help me pleassseee...

I'm making my first billboard, I've made a great background image

But the outline of the windows xp logo and the outline around the radio buttons ruins it...

I've searched every where but can't find a good guide on how to make these outlines see-through (translucent)

Please someone help!

That guide is useful, and works for the oemlogo...

But doesnt work for image transparency in the winntbbu!

i'm sure its possible to use transparency, any help would go greatly appreciated!

thanks

some bmps at winntbbu don't have transparency (even with 32bits alpha-layered bitmaps)

so... if it works for oemlogo it will work for any bitmap if the application supports it

can bmp looks translucent? i thought png image can do so.

bmp cant be translucent but you can define one color to serve as transparency...so you dont have that ugly rectangule (sp?) format in the image but only the shape you define
