Steven,

Thanks for the response.


--- Quote from: fatherfork on September 11, 2006, 01:03:22 PM ---bmp doesn't support actual transparency, so when you delete the background and it's transparent in photoshop or whatever, it won't be in the final file. Therefore, the pink color is used, as rockbox recognizes it as "transparent". if you really want to get rid of the pink, you'll have to crop it down and change the location of the bmp in the wps.

Forgive me, but I'm not following this.  What "pink color" are you refering to?  What I'm talking about is taking an icon and placing it anywhere on the screen so that only the "black" part of the icon is visible and whatever is behind the icon shows through (i.e. so the icon doesn't have a white box around it if I place it on a "gray" area.)  Are you saying that I could use "pink" for this somehow?  I understand how to change locations of bmps, but I don't understand how to be able to place them anywhere I want without the white background box appearing around them.  Is this possible?

Thanks again for all your help -- I really appreciate it,

Larry

Yotto:
In Rockbox, "hot pink" or All Red, All Blue, No Green (Aka FF00FF in RGB values) is "transparent".

So if you take this (w=white, b=black, p=pink)


--- Code: ---wwwww
wbbbw
wbwbw
wbbbw
wwwww

--- End code ---

And replace it with this:


--- Code: ---ppppp
pbbbp
pbpbp
pbbbp
ppppp

--- End code ---

It'll look like this on the screen:

--- Code: ---
 bbb
 b b
 bbb


--- End code ---
And all that blank part will be whatever's under your bitmap.

I'm not really following you either... How about a screenshot so I can get a better idea.

Wait I think I understand. Try filling all of the picture except the part you want seen(the black part) with 255.0.255 for the color values. This is the pink color I was talking about. Rockbox will see this color as transparent and anything behind it will be visible, instead of the pink.

lalittle:
So am I correct in assuming that we cannot get a "partially" transparent area of a bmp file?  In other words, it's either completely transparent (255, 0, 255) or not transparent at all, correct?  This would mean that you couldn't use bmps with anti-aliasing since the background would not be "completely" pink in the spots where anti-aliasing had created "semi" pink areas.

Do I understand this correctly, or is there a way to get this to work?

Thanks again,

Larry

Llorean:
There is no translucency support at all in Rockbox.
