Some things to check: 1) That you're changing the transparency color on the correct bit depth (8). 2) That the transparency check box is checked on the 8 bit deep bitmap. 3) That the icon family you're changing has ID 1000. Make a pixel change to the bitmap and see if it appears in the launcher. 4) That the transparency color you selected is exactly the same one that you use in the bitmap. 5) That the bitmap was drawn either directly in Constructor, or using a tool whose palette matches that of the device. For example, if you're using Photoshop to edit the bitmap, switch to Indexed color mode with a Web color palette before copying the bitmap and pasting it into Constructor. Use the eyedrop tool in Constructor to sample some of the pixels in the background area. Make sure they all map to the same color in the palette, and that this is the same color you selected for transparency. Rather than using gray, I recommend choosing something more unusual, and using the paint bucket to fill areas with this color as necessary. -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palm.com/devzone/mailinglists.html
