Okay I've been getting some help with making icons and I was hoping I wouldn't need to ask for help again.
well I was totally wrong...

Anyway I've been following THIS tutorial and I've did every single step and my icon turns invisible.

now I'm using Adobe Photoshop 6.0 so when I try to save the icon in RGB format it forces me to use 24-bit (which ZiNgABuRgA's RCO Editor doesn't support)
so I make the image an index format and save it as an 8-bit bitmap. (because photoshop forces me to)

so does this technique only work when making 32-bit bitmaps or am I doing something wrong or what?

many thankings are in the advanced.

That guide's old...
Save as a PNG if possible.

If on 3.71:
- make sure all images are uncompressed
- topmenu must be below some certain size (can't remember)

If you got the cut out image you can use png its the easiest way but i find that the icon's don't look as good using when using bmp's with alpha channel,.

Making a bmp:

the max size of topmenu_icon.rco is about 525 kb maybe a little higher,.

Yes I got it to work, thanks (again) guys.
this will hopefully be the last time I ask help for a problem that's XMB customization related.

That's interesting.

RCO Editor actually internally converts PNGs to a 32 bit BMP...
Hmm...
