Sometimes if I try using 32 bit bitmaps, they screw up like that.

I remember using .PNG formats for my GUI back in an older project, and it actually changed the color of the GUI I made.

I suppose VB6 is very specific about images. Sad

Thanks..

Yeah I dunno whats wrong with them, just looks crappy in vb. And when saving =/.. Id figure it out later I guess.

What about when compiled? Still look crappy?

Btw, for the remaining time on the buffs, why not blit all that? Blit the icon, and the time remaining. Would save you a few controls.

Yeah, I guess I could, easily done. But it doesnt affect much and I dont need free control space. Although it would save 16 controls.

You didn't answer my first question. =P

Does it look correct compiled, or still fudged up?

Re: WHY? - Matt - 11-08-2007

How do you do it?

Like..

Dim label as label?

I always wondered that, but I never looked into it.

How can my computer mess them up..? =/

Re: WHY? - Robin - 11-08-2007

Quite easily.

Send the .exe to someone else and see if they have the same problem.

Or just try it on a different computer.

Re: WHY? - Matt - 11-08-2007

Some computers are strange and screw stuff up. I had that problem with something not too long ago, I forget what it was though..
