elementaldisaster Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 you could edit the image in an online image editor which has the "Magic Wand tool" which will make all of one color invisible, such as Sumo Paint (sumopaint.com) really easy to use tools.

Lavos Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 ugh, how am I going to explain this….well to be brief you might wanna check out how directdraw7 works or you could read about how the windows api and directx would do that for you.

If you want masked images to make up your GUI you'll have to render them in DD7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
