You could change the backgroundcolor of your image into the color of a toolbarbutton
Look here (by Danilo; German Forum)

It work's great!
A litle tip:
by adding this:
Result = SaveImage(1, "test2.bmp")
just after the line:
ImageGadget(0,0,0,ImageWidth(),ImageHeight(),image1)
you save the result and then can use it in your app.
Thank's.
Dominique.

Note, that it is very easy to change the background-color of a window of all windows.
So it would be a better idea to use .ico instead of .bmp. Because Icons saves a transperancy.

Bitmaps can have transparency too, and are not restricted to 32x32 pixels
like an icon. See here:

Icons are definitly not restricted to 32x32. I created much bigger one. (The logo in japbe is a icon, also the PB-Logo in jaPBe.) And at the moment icons are the only format that PB support with direct transparancys.

That are not realy transparencys. This function only change one color to a other.

Okay, I was not aware of that. Thanks for the clarification.

Fair enough, but the tip there gives the effect of transparency with bitmaps,
which is all that matters in the end.
Besides, I don't have an icon editor.
