BMP Icons with black background

[woodman78]

I have created ribbon tabs with panels for my office. The icons I used are bmp files. They look fine on my machine but when i load the cuix file on another machine the icons are surrounded in black.

 

Does anyone have any ideas?

Do i need to create a dll file of them or something like that??

The transparent color is: 192,192,192 (or 236,233,216)

Thanks for that Crank. I'll give it a try

So Crank if i set the background on the icons to be 192,192,192 they will match the background on the ribbon in 2010?

Does anyone have a spec for creating icons for 2010. When i create the icon as a bmp i get the result as attached. I have tried many ways and always seem to get the same. Does anyone have any ideas about bit depth and things like that. Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks.

The Ribbon was originally designed for .ico-files with a background color of 236,233,216. But .bmp-files with a background color of 192,192,192 should also work.

What size does the big icon have?
