How do I create an icon with transparent areas (background) that can be used by VB?
Use an editing program that supports transparency, such as IcoFX (which is free and great).
Assuming you mean VB6 or earlier then keep it to 24-bit colour or less, and the size to 32 or less. This is a simplified explanation, but you wont go wrong if you follow this.
Also "Paint.NET". Also free.
Thanks to you both!
Paint.Net gave me so many problems such as cropping my pic automatically. You can also try iaza.com which is a online editor
