Image Transparency
How do I make an image transparent? The formats available are rather limiting (bmp, jpg,ico,wmf,emf). Wmf/emf images appear to be vector formats, which only vector based graphics program seem to recognize. Photoshop (6.0 at least) can't open/save them in any case. bmp and jpg don't have transparency available, although in borland's ide at least I can have it use one of the corner pixels as the transparent color.
This just leaves the ico format, which is inconvenient at the very least, seeing as how I need a special editor just to use the format. Using different resolutions is also very difficult with this format as very few icon editors even support this.
So is there some way to specify the transparent color for a bmp? Otherwise fastreports really needs to support an easily usable format that allows transparency. Preferrably png and/or gif.
