Hi Kevin,

You need to use a program that can set the surrounding as transparent.

It might be easier if they could export from Visio to TIFF or PNG directly, otherwise you need to fix the icons in an editor like PhotoShop or something.

Ok, I'm not a graphic artist.

Some clients want us to use some custom icons on their maps.

Actually, these icons were just exported out of Visio into .jpg and I
converted them to .png

When I import them, I get a box around them in whatever light background
color and then the icon in the middle.

Can someone explain how to get the icon "naked" without a background in a
box???

I tried fooling around in MSPaint with the clear and opaque icon stuff but
I'M getting nowhere fast.
