How do I make icons that are anti-aliased to a transparent background?
A. Use a professional paint package to make your icon, and save it as a 32-bit icon file with an 8-bit Alpha Channel. Then you can have an icon that is anti-aliased to a transparent background – this looks cool and professional. I think this only works in XP/Vista/MAC OSX though. So check to see what your icon looks like in Windows 98/Me/2000; it may only have a solid background.
