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 :wink.gif:

Thanks,
