Thanks. So then I take it the Transparency color is supposed to be working
in Constructor 1.5 for colors other than White ?
I am still finding that it does not and I did check all the details
you mention. Details embedded in reply below...
Is anyone else doing this with success ? Again it's hard to tell since the
background of the Application program is white. Try creating an icon that's
all blue, add a block of white pixels and a block of red pixels and select the
same red as your transparency color. Are the red pixels red or white as they
should be since red was supposed to be transparent ?

Absolutly, all other depths cause errors if transparency is set.

I know you had to ask but yea this one's fine. In fact I mentioned that
if I set the color to white it works so I know I can set transparency I
just can't get it to work with a color other than white.

Yes, I change the icon slightly each time to make sure I see the difference.
This also makes sure I didn't forget to load the new prc file ;-)

Absolutly !!!

Drawn directly in constuctor.
