Toolbar Icon Format

November 3, 2003 9:37 AM from

Can anyone please tell me what the format is for toolbar Icons.

The only information in Skinstudio is that for Internet Explorer there are 16 Icons and Windows Explorer there are 47 icons.

The problem I am having is Icon size and colour depth.

I have already tried importing some from WebBlinds but the large icon size seems to be wrong with images clipped and also the colours are displayed at lower colour depth.

Any advice will be welcome

Thanks

Mitch

Mitch, look in your \SkinStudio\Template folder and you'll find examples of the toolbar image strips. Color depth can be up to 32bit with alpha, since they can be TGA format, if you wish. There are four strips in total for Internet Explorer; Normal and hot (active) strips at 24x24, and normal and hot strips at 16x16.

Thanks very much.

Is it possible to use .bmp files or do they have to be .tga

I believe you can use BMP if you want, you just won't be able to have that smooth transparency you get from TGAs.
