Hi AaronL :) <br />I hope the folowing example will help you. <br /> <br />1.Make a new document 128x128 with transparent background, (in Photoshop for example). <br /> <br />2.Make a circle and fill it with a color. <br /> <br />3.Save it as .png file. <br /> <br />That´s all. You will have a excellent transparent objectdock item! :)

It is not a matter of saving, but <b>creating on transparent background </b> ;) <br /> <br />I am using Photoshop from version 1 and I think it was always able to save in .png format :,

In older versions of Photoshop (before Adobe introduced the "save for web"option), saving a transparent .png was done like this: <br /> <br />1. select the transparent area of your graphic <br />2. invert it <br />3. turn the selection into a channel (poke around in the channel box) <br />4. name the channel "alpha" <br />5. save as .png <br /> <br />Not sure on how to do this in NeoPaint (wat trouwens geen Nederlands programma is), but be aware that transparency in a .png is not as simple as in a .gif, where you replace a colour. .png uses 256 levels of transparency, which is usually stored as a seperate channel (besides red, green and blue). So look around if NeoPaint has some kind of channel support or poke in the hekp files on how to save .png´s.
