hacking start button

[J0sh]

OK, I followed the instructions from the guides on the main page, but have run into a problem. I don't know how to make the image work correctly with transparency and all, seeing as it has to be a .bmp.

I've included a pic to illustrate my point.

edit: It looks alright in the first picture because i just used the gradient of the start button as the background

Which photo/image editing program are you using?

Using Photoshop 6.0, but I have access to 7.0 and PSP(don't know what version) from friends if need be. And of course I have MSPaint

The option to create a transparent image is in the 'New' dialog under background options.

right, I understand that. However, I need a .bmp to be able to use it, and AFAIK, .bmp does not support transparenct.

I was under the impression that .GIF and .BMP were two of the few that did support it.
