The second image is the way it should look on the form or when i use it as my desktop icon.

Fooood.net icon was just an example of the type of icon that i will be using. I am planning maybe to create my own or purchase a license agreement. The .icon shows up find until i insert it anywhere in my form using Imagelist, Picture control, Menu, etc. The shadow will not show right and just gives a black border as shown in the link below. http://www.origin2k.com/pic.htm Thanks you all.

Hi. I been searching for almost a week straighht looking for a way for my icons to show up right on my toolbar. I got my icons from "http://www.foood.net" and added it to a ImageList which is linked to the Toolbar control. However the shaded area or shadows does not show right instead has a very ugly black border and the Icon edge is very edgy and not smooth like how it should be. I found article that mentions that it is the alpha-blending but no code or help. This is really frustrating. Any help please. I am doing this on VB.NET. Thanks. Ayenoy
