try to replace the tex_transparency by blank data, it can help to eliminate the the whitebox sometimes.

here is simple batch file to convert 12 bg into 01-12.bmp

ensure each file is less than 32767, rename to 01.jpg, 02.jpg & etc.. run the .bat then...

Couldn't get it to work.

idk.. i thought u made it..
anyways.. its supposed to pad files to 32767 bytes.. but i edited it so that it pads thefile to 98301(4 hi-res bgs) :> then u can just merge them with copy /b.. really cosy :)
i will attach the files..


by the way yeah i know about the december thing :> but i use a high quality jpg instead .. just because of filesize-saving :)

Mythos, how do you use this tool? So this will make every image (jpg image only?) 32767 bytes in size? And about copy b/, doesn't it work for bmp images only? Is it okay to rename the final images from .jpg to .bmp? Sorry for my too many questions. :mdr:Cheers.

Actually, I have a customized system_plugin_fg.rco. I replaced the battery icon with a "XP taskbar with battery" (see http://endlessparadigm.com/forum/showthr...p?tid=2652).

be sure your image is UNDER 32767 bytes.. it will "fill" the rest with 00s till it's 32767 bytes in size :)
yeah then u can just use copy /b .. .. just rename it to .bmp then..


oh and nice screenie =)

Thanks for sharing the padding tool. Now, I have 01-12.bmp with 12 350x198 backgrounds. And it fixes my issues. I thought, I'm gonna end up not using my system_plugin_fg.rco a.k.a XP tasbar in order to use 12 hi-res backgounds 01-12.bmp. No more white boxes,thanks to bstronga for my topmenu fix.
