What the best format to convert my icon bmp's to to use ion the tool,.?!

From tests with RCO, PNG transparency wasn't supported.  IDK if PTFs are handled differently however.

I tried png's
I had to rezise from 64x64 to 64x48 and also i could only use a 8bit bmp and save as png file,.

^ Did transparency work?

Cause PNG/GIF/BMP/TIFF transparency don't work for me in RCOs...
(from the looks of it, PTFs should support PNG, JPEG, TIFF, GIF, BMP, GIM and TGA formats - why Sony decided to restrict them however, remains a mystery to me)


EDIT: I'm suspecting the program rewrites PNG and TGA into GIM format; obviously PNG and TGA don't have colour restrictions.

EDIT2: Yep - I see, the program does convert everything to GIM format...

no it showed up white Hummm

I made the back ground  transparent on my first run with it 64x48 8 bit 32 color
every thing held up
added it to psp theme folder
loaded it

white back ground


ps you need to give it a background & a preview & a preview button or it will not make the ptf

8 bit 32 color seems to be what all the icons have to be

the background it wonts in .bmp lol SVC

preview is also .bmp

preview button is 16x16 8 bit 32 color

^ Transparency _should_ be supported, if the PNG is internally converted to GIM.

What I was saying, is that you can directly embed a PNG into a PTF/RCO, however, transparency isn't supported.

It's about the same as my RCO Editor, though yeah, there's an additional dimension restriction here...
