Color
Conversion Select Dithering or Nearest Color as the color conversion method.
If the color resolution of a picture is not compatible with the target panel, the application compiler will
use the specified method to convert the picture data so it can be displayed without too much color
distortion at runtime.
Support
Pressed Look Available when the selection is a picture group. Check this item so the current picture group
supports the pressed look. When a picture group supports the pressed look, it needs two pictures for
each state; one picture is for the normal (released) look and another picture is for the pressed look.
Transparent Check this item to enable the transparent feature of the selection; if the selection is a picture, the
picture will be transparent for the specified transparent color; if the selection is a picture group, all
the pictures of the picture group will be transparent for the specified transparent color. Note that this
feature is effective only when a picture or a picture group is shown as the picture shape for an
object.
It is a common practice to make a picture transparent for a certain color so the picture can be shown
as a non-rectangle shape. The following are some examples:
