Hi evryone,

I’d like to convert BMP pic to Gif pic in order to erase the background into transparent. It’s for icons in my application.
The problem is that for all white colors, the white areas are displayed as the background color.
Ex, an icon in a tollbar, my toolbar background is in buttonFace color (gray by default), the white areas of my icon are in gray !

In IE, the white areas are well displayed in white.

When I save my pic in gif format, the image mode is set to indexed and there are the right number of colors (+transparent one)

I know that I’ve succeeded to make my icon "white"

PhotoShop 6

MacBook Pro 16” Mockups 🔥

– in 4 materials (clay versions included)

– 12 scenes

– 48 MacBook Pro 16″ mockups

– 6000 x 4500 px

Cornelius,

It sounds like this is a programming issue and not really a photoshop one.

Here’s a pointer to an article describing one way to do toolbars with transparent icons:
