VC++ Corrupting My Nice Icon

Hey all,

Done some googling with no results.

Ive attached a screenshot of what vc++ is doing to the icon at compile. The Icon should be a nice green leaf with alphatrans.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Just reshack the the exe.... the recource compiler might not work with alpha blended icons

Yeah, VC's IDE doesn't support icons of more than 256 colors well (as I remember)

VC++ supports icon up to 128x128, 16777216 colors icons.

After selecting the icon:

menu -> Image -> Current Icon Image types -> More Icons...

Thanks I'll give that a shot. I'm using vs.net 2005 if that makes a difference.
