Transparent Button is not actually transparent?

Post by MrJackFrost »

I have an image that has a transparent background for each frame. However, when I create a button using Rainmeter it is showing the button with a solid black background. How do I fix this so the background is transparent? Code is below and a picture is attached (the black background behind the button is the actual button that is being created by Rainmeter)...

[Rainmeter]
Update=500
DynamicWindowSize=1

[MeterPacman]
Meter=Button
ButtonImage="C:\Users\xx05162\Downloads\StartButtons\Vista Mono.bmp"
ButtonCommand=["http://www.google.com"]

I would try saving that transparent image as a .png image. I do not believe .bmp supports transparency.
