In PMView 2 and now PMView Pro, this bug has carried over, unless I misunderstand the documentation.
PMView does NOT preserve the TRANSPARENT colour for ICONS. The documentation says that failing a set colour, it will let black be transparent. This doesn't happen either. I used OS/2's Icon Editor, painted icon with transparent colour, looked at it in a folder to make sure it worked, then I loaded and saved it with PMView Pro. The Transparent colour is gone. No more transparency. Can't we get this fixed sometime please? |

The OS/2 icon format uses a transparency mask (i.e. there are two bitmaps; the color bitmap and the mask bitmap).
The GIF format uses a transparent color. However, it would be easy to add GIF-style transparency to the ICO format. It's just that nobody has asked for it until now :  :
