* New: AlphaBlending transparencies support for FiveWin! Please review samples\TestAB.prg for a working sample. In bitmaps\AlphaBmp\*.bmp there are several bitmaps with alpha channel. Please review this video to learn how to build bitmaps with alpha channel:

Hello Silvio,

to convert a BMP to Alpha-Blended-BMP doesn't make sense.
Basicly You have to use / convert a PNG-file ( with Shadows, Transparent-areas )
to a Alpha-Blended-BMP. A PNG-file contains LAYERS. The Layer of the transparent-area
of a PNG-file is converted to BLACK during saving as BMP.
Using a normal BMP ( with no separated transparent-areas ),there is nothing to convert.
You can convert a PNG-file to BMP-Alphablended easily with a normal Graphic-application
like < GIMP > or < XNVIEW >.
Load the PNG-file and save it a Alpha-Blended-BMP.
If You need some spezial PNG's, Just tell me, what You need ( motive / color ).
I have a big collection of all kind and sizes of PNG's.

Regards
Uwe
