Microsoft has finally updated the images and animations that are packaged
with Visual Studio. In this
MSDN TV Episode, Aaron Brethorst tells us about the Visual Studio 2005 Image
Library. Thanks Microsoft!

I hope I'm wrong, but when I watched the video it seemed like most of the 16x16 "common toolbar" images were 24bit with magenta backgrounds. Talk about going almost all the way but not quite reaching the mark.
We need 32bit PNG images that actually have an alpha channel, like the actual toolbar images used in the Office 2003 products. Anything short of that will be inadequate.
Hopefully my fears will be laid to rest when I get beta 2.
Hi Tim.
Well if they include high color .ico's they should have alpha transparency in there, so a converter would be able to convert those to PNG's. A bit of a hassle but pretty doable with a good batch converter.
P.S.
I'd like to give you a virtual "pat on the back" for an excellent job on the controls on your site. Those WindowsForms controls are pretty awesome :)
