Default What's wrong with my image?

Seems like there's a problem with the image, possibly color depth. Could anyone give me any suggestions please?

leveled it out a bit (brightened colors) added an alpha channel that EQ looks for.. that should help.. but I agree..

not much wrong with it.. cant wait to see what your gonna do with it..

Yes, I think it was the alpha channel Xirin was having problems with.

Xirin, when you save the TGA, make sure you have a transparent background and then save in 32 bit mode. This image is 24-bit, which is the image itself. The other 8 bits are the alpha-channel (the part that defines what is transparent and what isn't.)

I don't know about other paint programs, but Photoshop will automatically make the alpha channel for you when you have a transparent background and save in 32 bit.

Argh, this is wigging me out. Looked at the code, everything seems fine. Yet the selector buttons are squashed up and working funny
Anyone care to use that image for their new window selector?

Ok, got it to work, thank you everyone!
Not only was it a problem with the lacking alpha channel, but also in the code I loaded just the size of the image, not 256x256 That would be why it was squashed
