Hm, I got a rather different impression when watching the video... I wrote about it on my blog a few days ago.

I hope I'm wrong, but when I watched the video it seemed like most of the 16x16 "common toolbar" images were 24bit with magenta backgrounds. Talk about going almost all the way but not quite reaching the mark.

We need 32bit PNG images that actually have an alpha channel, like the actual toolbar images used in the Office 2003 products. Anything short of that will be inadequate.

Hopefully my fears will be laid to rest when I get beta 2.

Hi Tim.

Well if they include high color .ico's they should have alpha transparency in there, so a converter would be able to convert those to PNG's. A bit of a hassle but pretty doable with a good batch converter.

P.S.
I'd like to give you a virtual "pat on the back" for an excellent job on the controls on your site. Those WindowsForms controls are pretty awesome :)
