Re: Icon problems HELP!!!

["scspieker" <scspieker@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I can help with the Paintshop Pro.  Once you have your image set, there
should be a contrasting color as the 'transparent' part bordered up to the
outside edge of the icon itself (black against a white border, etc).

Choose the Selection Menu -> Select all.
Choose Selection -> Modify -> Transparent Color.
Choose the correct color (Background color is what I prefer) as the color
to set as the transparent.
Choose File -> Save As (Compuserve GIF) -> Run Optimizer
Choose the Transparency Tab -> Outside the Current Selection, or Areas
that Match this color (the color is displayed).

Choose Save.
