How do you use an icon's Alpha?
Thursday, July 10, 2003 by [BAC]MechaDeath | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
i know this is a really lame question but here goes - i downloaded the Snow-E2 icon pack and applied it, but as with any other Icon Packager theme it has terrible fragments arround the icons...
Is there an option i am not seeing that enables "high quality" alpha on windows icons???? is it part of windows settings or icon packager or windows blinds or what? how do i make these icons not look terrible on a dark BG

Only XP supports alpha blended icons, so I'm presuming you must be using a pre-XP version of Windows.
