Thanks in advance.

Re: Transparencies in gamebases splash image
The Splash can be JPG, GIF or BMP.
When i have made a splash.GIF with a transparent background colour, i got stange results.
I could see part of a file explorer window graphic (in the background transparency) on the desktop (when no window was open).
So there is a bug or incompatability in the vb6 code.
but feel free to try various transparent splashes and report back.

Thanks .mad.
P.S. I have no idea what vb6 code is.
Re: Transparencies in gamebases splash image
I do not usually ask without experimenting before. I have had the same results as you. Saving as a .gif, where transparencies are expected, white backgrounds mixed with the desktop appears. Anyway, we will continue experimenting with other image formats..mad. wrote: ↑Fri Feb 02, 2018 5:33 pmThe Splash can be JPG, GIF or BMP.

Jimbo was in the process of converting it to .net, but I have no idea if he is still working on it.

Visual Basic 6. It is what Gamebase was written in.

I have a lot of respect for Gamebase creators, maintainers & supporters.

I'm sorry but I'm a novice in the subject. Thanks.
