Robin Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Keep in mind that the default mouse icon code is terrible. The actual contact point is always in the centre of whatever icon you make.Oh, and VB6 only supports 16bit icons by default. Sorry, but no alpha channels. ;P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmiguu Posted January 25, 2010 Author Share Posted January 25, 2010 @Robin:> Oh, and VB6 only supports 16bit icons by default. Sorry, but no alpha channels. ;PThere is transparency. That's all what most people only need for a clean-cut mouse icon anyways ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all what most people only need for a clean-cut mouse icon anyways ;DIt has an alpha mask, just no alpha channels.You'd be better off simply rendering the mouse icon, but as Eclipse uses all the GDI crap this is really the only good way of doing it.

DFA Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 along time ago, i had a directdraw rendered mouse, but obviously it was limited to picScreen.one of the many reasons why its stupid to mix rendering APIs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just go in and save it as a 16bit image then re-save it as an icon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
