[Closed] Custom icons are monochromatic

Hi,

Does anyone have a clue why my custom icons are showing up monochromatic?
They are colored bitmaps, but yet in the max UI (2011, UI set to 2009, colored) they show up in shades of gray (but otherwise they work fine), does anyone have a clue why that is?

Just a suggestion but try
go to customise user interface-colors-Scheme-鈥淐ustom colors鈥?icons enabled and look for Invert tick box and see if it does anything to help you

Do you only have one bitmap? Such as somename_24i.bmp and somename_16i.bmp ?

If so, add an alpha channel to your bitmap.

  • White is fully visible.
  • Black is invisible.

Without the alpha channel, the icons have washed out colours.

Thank you, that Alpha channel did it!
