Basic Help With SkinStudio Required!!!!!

from WinCustomize Forums
Hello,

You probably have guessed I'm new to the community, I have been using WindowsBlinds for ages but I have only just got around to getting SkinStudio so I can (Attempt to) make my own skins.....

It seems to be going OK, despite the lack of ANY useful tutorial or help files > >

I am Having a problem with radio buttons, check boxes and system buttons, in that If I make my own images for them (bitmap of tga) they allways end up an odd grey colour
This is really starting to P me off, so any help wpuld be appreciated

Thankyou for taking the time to read this post

Make sure translucency (not transparency) is disabled if you replace a tga with a bmp. A lot of the default tga's have translucency enabled but if it is enabled for bmp's you get this opaque image.
