How can the icons be used with Microsoft® Visual Studio®?
When using the icons for application development with VisualStudio® you will probably have to convert the icons to BMP files with a “mask color”. Although Visual Studio® .Net (Version 2003) supports PNG files with alpha transparency on some controls, other controls like the ImageList control do not support PNGs with alpha transparency.As mentioned we recommend converting the PNG files to BMP files with a mask color. The area filled with the mask color will be made transparent by the ImageList control, provided the same color is defined as mask color on the ImageControl. For converting the images you can use our free conversion tool, which can be found at the bottom of this page.
