Im using the borderblank option and some of my old non-NewIcon images look very strange. Whats wrong?
Workbench 2.04 and up was not designed to have the borders removed around the icons. With the borderblank option turned on, color zero is now transparent. Any area of the icon with color zero will now show the backdrop through the icon. This can cause some icons to appear strange. The options for fixing it are 1) change your backdrop to a somewhat neutral gray color 2) don’t use the borderblank option, or 3) get rid of those old icons altogether, and use NewIcon images instead. Another note about the borderblank option: some non-newicon icons will really look bizarre, especially the secondary image if the alternate image is just a complemented color. You can try toggling the DEPTH PROMOTE option in NewIconsPrefs on or off. Depending on whether you use a graphics card, this option might help either way. One further note about the borderblank option: If you use colorfonts for your icon font, these can look weird also with non-NewIcon icons. It appears to be a quirk in the OS. The solutio
