In the
next beta (EDIT: that's
v8.80.0016) there is some test code for handling true alpha transparency. It works great here under XP but I want to make sure that it also works on your systems before I rewrite the whole icon handling of the toolbar and other places...
Steps:
- download wilbur:

- place it into your
app data path (where your INI and DAT files are)
- ensure that pane 1 is visible.
- run this thru the address bar:
? do you see a cute alpha transparent dog looking at you?

This should simplify that for everyone...
Code: Select all
::Download("http://www.xyplorer.com/download/wilbur.png", "<xydata>");Focus("P1");wilbur;

One day I'm sure Don will realize the power (and simplicity it can create) of XY scripting...

Great, this means I can totally rewrite internal icon handling and also redesign all icons (OH MY GOD!!). This will take 2 weeks plus a 4-week holiday
but it will be worth it!

Just a question, but are you using v8.80.0016 to test "wilbur"
Don marked next in bold, referring to .0016, so you *may* have missed that...If you are indeed running .0016 then something else may be an issue, dare I say maybe something to do with your OS being Win2k? Also a quick Google hinted that alpha blending on Win2k may be quite slow, but I have way of verifying that.

I even considered making the script check the XY version, but figured the short simplicity would be preferred.

Cool!
In the next beta version (8.80.0027) wilbur is embedded in the EXE (which is now > 4 MB for the first time ever
), so you can delete wilbur.png from your disk and the command
should still work like before. The is the last test phase before the new icons come...

Deleting wilbur.png from <xydata> and entering the command
produces the image of a dog as before.
