Hello,

The problem with the 32 bit images is when the user is using 16 bits colors => the images look awful.

I suggest that you make a test in your components, and if the colors are in 16 bits, then you do not use the transparency.

I agree it's not great to have images without transparency, but it's better then the 32bits images with Windows in 16bits.

What do you think ?
