A xpm image will work, but only on Linux. On Windows the result will not
be good. I think it will appear black, but I need to retest.
You will also notice there are no programs on Windows that can edit .xpm
files. I tryed Photoshop, fireworks, corel draw, .... none support xpm.
xpm is the standard format for glyphs on Linux.
There are 2 solutions with the 0.9.10 version:
* Use the "kind" property of the button and use one of the standard
glyphs, there are quite a few. They are transparent due to the unusual
way they are stored and loaded.
* Make a bitmap with a grey background, so it won't be so easy to notice
it is not really transparent =)
Refer to http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mantis/view.php?id=1092 for
more information on the issue.
