Black backgrounds on BCM icons
Jim D 3/18/2007 2:40:03 AM

Hi All,

All of the sudden, some of the icons in BCM are showing up with black
backgrounds. These are the icons that are in the second grouping form the
left on the upper toolbar such as "General", "Details" and "History".

I'm assuming the black background is the alpha channel for the icon but they
should not be visible. Instead it should be transparent to showt he toolbar
color throug it.

Anyone else seeing this behavior?

Thanks,

Jim

Hi Jim,

Are you using 16bit color or using Outlook through a Remote Desktop
Connection?

Thanks,

Craig

Eeeek!

Thanks Craig.. I just checked and my color was set to 16 bit some how...
Setting to 32 bit fixed the problem.

Thanks!

Jim
