Pull down item image

from Stardock Forums
Hey guys, I am very new at this and am trying to create my own skin. The problem I am having is with the "pull down item image". For some reason it doesnt appear. I can see it in the preview mode but when I test the skin the pull down image doesnt show up, only the text is highlighted white as I move the mouse over it.
I noticed that almost all the other skins use a TGA file for this image, is this a requirement? I am just using a BMP file with the "magic pink" around the button image.

Hope that made sense?!

I am having similar problems using small BMP images for my objects. Sometimes they appear after I click Apply but most times they don't. I've tried renaming the files to reassign them but the behavior persists. Restarting DesktopX or the computer makes no difference. I hope someone has some feedback about this.

If you are using a .tga (or png) image then you need to have transparency and translucency checked (turned on) in the image properties.
If you are using .bmp images then you only want transparency checked. Having transparency and translucency checked with a .bmp image will cause the image to not appear.
