It's not a REALbasic bug so much as platform difference. Windows only

each platform.

Elsewhere in RB things like canvases display the same icon/mask information consistently across platforms. These platform differences can be resolved
internally by RB and should be.

Sure seems that way, but from corresponding with Aaron, there may not be a whole lot they can do. Windows toolbars only support 1 bit masks, and they're using the native toolbars. He suggested there might be some way around it, but I didn't get the impression that I should get my hopes up.

It's a pain, but fairly easy to work around.

Can you share the easy work around? Coming from a Mac centric development environment, I've not been successful in creating useful monochromatic masks
for my windows icons.

In a nutshell, you'll need two of each icon and two of each mask. Then you'll have to build the toolbar items in code rather than in the graphical editor, and assign each item's icon according to the platform you're on.

Let me know if that doesn't make sense and I'll see if I can whip up an example project.
