You''ll get a better result by making a 1x1 pixel square and colored the same as the top right coner pixel of the dialog window

Draw/make the egg image on the corner of the dialog window. This way it will be displayed and the flag image will be the tiny little pixel on the top right corner

I may regret asking, but why skin that dialog then, if you don''t have XP?

Hippy brings up a very good question

But I think he might be working on a skin to upload

The 1x1 pixel idea is correct. Put your flag or egg on the background. But, the 1x1 pixel changes location from the shutdown dialog and please wait dialog. So, just work with changing the 1x1 pixel color until you don''t see it. Transparency problem solved.

1x1 pixel worked.

Now I need to figure out if the XP buttons look goof with the rest of the dialog.

The 1x1 pixel broke with WB 4.5. I skin dialog so it will be fully xp.
