Hi,

Is there a way of setting transparency in a ButtonImageGadget's image?

I can only work out how to do it by using Monochrome BMPs but monochrome BMPs are a bit limiting

Colour ones leave the background colour on the button...

I also need this feature, but for the textgadget. Here I want to overlay an imagegadget with a textgadget to have the possibility to exchange the text without exchangeing the image for other languages. In the 3D drawing statement a transparent text is possible, but this don't not working correctly in the case of redraws of the screen.

Ah!
Just realised that transparency is a feature of the image format...
try http://www.blaiz.net/clic.html - nice (free) little too for creating transparent icons...
