creating new objects - background still there
Wednesday, November 9, 2005 by oRd3s | Discussion: DesktopX
Hello, i just started with desktopx. i created new objects, using corel draw. saved the object as png, took the background out, but when i load it in desktopx, the background is there again. can anybody provide me some tipps how to get rid of those backgrounds. i am using corel and adobe photoshop. and what software do you use for drawing/creating new objects. thanks

Have you watched any of the "CorelDraw for Skinners" videos by mormegil? There is one specifically about exporting png's from CorelDraw. I dont have any links handy at the moment, but you should be able to search for them, or else look on mormegils WinCustomize site.

thanks for your tipps. but does anyone know how u can download those videos. i can`t get them from his site on wincustomize. is this just a temporary error, or are they not downloadable anymore

but my actual problem is not how to get the transparancy in corel. this i can do. and when i load the picture with any other prog e.g explorer, there is no background. but when i load the same picture with desktopx the background is still there.is there any setting i have to do, to get rid of the background. and the strange thing is, when i use a premade png object, which is background free, put some stuff in it with corel,(inside the object`s visual area), save it, then load it with deskX, it has a background again. but also only with deskX. when i open it with any other prog than there is no background. if anyone has an advice please write me. i`m getting white hairs here.
