Ok, so its me again I ahve been trying to make transparent bmps so that my user account box on my logons dont show different or so that I dont have to try to match up the pictures and make a seperate picture to go in the user account box. So any ideas how this can be done other than using ps to make it transparent and save as a 128 or using that pinkish color, beacause both of those have not been working for me. Thanks again
