However, I run across an important difference in icon behaviour: Adding a background "colour" (that is: a unicrome .bmp) to the toolbar's set of icons in v6.21, all icons use the "expected/intended" icon transparency. 6.21 "old" icons w/o background: 6.21 "old" icons with background: Now, doing the same in v6.31 results in non-transparent "boxes" around the toolbar's default icons, which renders their look quite ...hum... unlovely. 6.31 "new" icons w/o background: 6.31 "new" icons with background: Note: That last icon (in all pictures respectively) is a custom icon added on my own - to demonstrate that the issue is limited to the "default" icons only. Am I missing something, is this by design, or should it be regarded as a "cosmetical bug"?

Automated /toolbar commands on my mIRC (I am aware of so far) are adding some extra icons only ... I'll take up some testing with a fresh mIRC install later this day - to screen out whether/which addons I use might cause this (anyway: addons that worked fine with <= 6.3).

So...

With the toolbar.ini

Code:

[toolbar]
n0=19
n1="connect","Connecter",1,"0",0,0,0,0,0,16,16,"","",0,1,0,0,""

The background is no good

Replace by old method, an alias on start

Code:

alias toolbarinit {
  toolbar -r
  ;effacer boutons inutiles
  var %todel = sep1,sep2,chanfolder,chanlist,sep3,sep4,timer,sep5,dccopts,sep6,sep7,notify,notify2,urls,urls2,sep8,htile,vtile,cascade,arrange,about | var %b = 1
  while (%b <= $numtok(%todel,44)) {
    toolbar -d $gettok(%todel,%b,44)
    inc %b
  }
  ;ajout boutons script
  toolbar -an43z1 sky-chan "Mes Salons Préférés" mirc.exe "/selchan"
  toolbar -az1 sky-son "Configuration Son" icones\son.ico "/dialog -om config_son config_son"
  toolbar -az1 sky-dico "Dico" icones\dico.ico "/skydico"
  toolbar -az1 sky-aide "Aide" icones\hlp.ico "/run mIRCfr.chm"
  toolbar -az1 sky-forum "Forum" sky.ico "/url -an http://***/forum/"
  toolbar -az1 sky-push "Push" icones\push.ico "/url -an http://***/push.php"
  ;traduction boutons classiques
  toolbar -t connect "Connecter"
  toolbar -t connect2 "Déconnecter"
  toolbar -t connect3 "Déconnecter"
  toolbar -t options "Options"
  toolbar -t scripts "Editeur de scripts"
  toolbar -t scripts2 "Editeur de scripts"
  toolbar -t addrbook "Carnet d'adresses"
  toolbar -t colors "Couleurs"
  toolbar -t send "Envoyer fichier"
  toolbar -t chat "Chat"
  toolbar -t rcvdfiles "Fichiers reçus"
  toolbar -t logfiles "Fichiers log"
}

The background is ok

The rest of your alias does: - remove some of the toolbar's items - add some custom items - rename some tooltips ... all these actions do not affect the "icon background intransparency" issue, at least on my mirc

The reason for the change in behaviour is that mIRC no longers stores the toolbar icons internally as a bitmap, they are now stored as actual icons. It should be possible for /toolbar to load the icons directly from the mirc.exe to solve this issue for now.
