Forums Bug Reports Toolbar, png, alpha blend

I was redoing my toolbar when I stumbled upon this. mIRC does not handle .png files with alpha-blend/transparentcy correctly in the toolbar:

The purple/pink area is infact supposed to be semi-transparent.

Note: They DO draw correctly to @picwin

Thanks, if you can provide a link to the toolbar PNG file that reproduces this issue, I will download it and test it out to see why that is happening.

Just to clarify: how are you loading this into the toolbar? Are you using a script and adding it as an icon? If so, can you provide a small example script that reproduces the method?

Was just testing from the editbox using:

Thanks, this behaviour is actually by design. The toolbar bitmaps in mIRC use $rgb(255,0,255) as the transparency color, this is why the alpha channel pixels are tinted pink in this case. You can reproduce this in @windows using /drawpic -t with $rgb(255,0,255). One solution would be to add a /toolbar switch that loads the bitmap without $rgb(255,0,255) as the transparency color. I have added this to my to-do list.

Thank you
