[help] .bmp and .png the same icon?

does .bmp and .png icons the same?

both are in C:WINDOWSsystem32shimgvw.dll (if im not wrong)

thanks for the light.

does what?

bmp files cannot have transparency and have to use "magic pink" to simulate it.

i don't get your question :slant:

i think s/he means are the icons in the same file.. and are they the same icons or something along those lines..

He wants to know if .bmp and .png have the same file extensions icon .

@Unbeliever : sorry, i wasnt clear. What i meant is what the other guys pointed. If in resource on that dll is the same for the .gif and the .png |

i reshacked that dll to change the picture icons. Jpg, gif, png, tiff...

the .gif shows the right icon.

the .png not.

gif and bmps can't be substituted with pngs as Windows doesn't have native transparency. BMP uses "magic pink" to appear transparent

unbe, you dont get it. hes finding out if the .gif file extension and if the .png file extension use the same icon in the dll file.

i guess you're right Lou >.

If you're trying to replace file icons, just use iPhile. Works like a charm for almost everything.
