Image Manager - Transparent PNG
« on: April 19, 2012, 06:22:39 am »
When I try to import a PNG image with a transparent background (like those that come in de XML Image Library available at EA web site), transparent backgrounds are filled with black.

Is there any specific image format to work with so that EA handles tranparency correctly?

Thanks.

You should import images with transparent background from .emf formats. I'm not sure if .wmf would also do the trick.

If you're using .bmp images for icons in the tool box or project browser window, you can use the RGB value (192,192,192) to specify the transparent color.
