| i believe this is my first post to this mailing list, so a brief intro: i | am an author and developer in many languages and formats; my current | project is about HTML and Internet Explorer 3.01 and above. In the process | of exploring (excuse the pun!) the features of IE and its Layout control, i | found a very peculiar thing: if one uses a control like a CheckBox, with no | text of its own, but just an image, the image becomes partially | transparent, based on the color of the lower left pixel. I have used this | to create exactly the "cookie" cutter effect being discussed here. if | anyone is interested, i could whip up a simple demo and post it to the list | of doing this with text. Standard procedure under windows... haven't you ever created a BMP format icon file? Just rename your BMP files as ICO and see how they turn out... more often than not though its an undesired feature... should be extremely controllable..
