Transparent Gifs

Classic Servoy
1

Hi

I created a transparent gif image so that when I place on servoy form it shows the background of the form below the image.

But I found that when I import into servoy form the tranparency dis-appears but the background of the image changes to white with some emboss appearance.

Any idea how can I import the transparent gifs into servoy

Thanks

you mean with importing into servoy into the media library?
We don’t do any transformations to the images. It is the exact same byte array as you do it from any other way.

So somehow the place where you set the image on is somehow white.
Are you absoluutly sure that you show the image in the same place?

OK I will explain you what I did

  • I created a transparent gif image (see attached)

  • I imported that file into Media

  • I then selected that file and placed on the servoy form

  • It then changed to different color instead of transparent (see pic )

Hope this makes sense

Thanks

but you have placed the image on a button
And a button is not transpartant by default so you see the gray background of the button.

Ahmad,

Also - check out the properties palette. You can make the image transparent by clicking the checkbox next to the property “transparent”.

:D
