Thanks to all who replied so far. I've been trying different things. Vance - RE: Can you make a picture have an opaque effect?
This isn't what I want to do; the pictures have an opaque effect where the white backgrounds are opaque when what I want is for the background to be transparent, so the icon does not appear to have a square border. If the background is transparent, the icon can sit on the form and the color of the form surrounds the icon, which looks better. Randy - RE: You can use the MSC in v16 to flush out all the forms Yes, this works well, and JPR's component does a lot of the same thing. In working out the problems, I found however that what looked to be a transparent background in 32 bit is not transparent in 64 bit (see above, I now have a white box around many of my icons), so I think I need an external drawing program to somehow convert the white background to "transparent". Cannon - Thanks, I had not seen that tech note. I'm already in v15 and do not have the plugin, so I tried using the same concept on a single member of the picture library that I knew had a transparency issue. The result was that the entire picture became transparent, so something clearly (to make a pun) went wrong! I'll investigate this a bit more, but I'm afraid that what I really need is something that can 'lasso' an image to find the outermost border, then set everything outside that border to transparent - which would be tough to do in code. Keep those ideas coming!
