It seems like with custom icons, CorelDraw just fills transparent pixels with the UI's color? When I hover over the icon it shows the non-transparent UI color background.
<-- This is the custom icon, I didn't import external images, just used the built-in ones
<-- This is the native icon without customizing appearance:
It's not a major issue but annoys me quite much whenever I hover over the icon. I watched tutorial videos of the previous versions like X4 and future versions like 2020 and they don't seem to have this issue. So I guess it's happening on X6 or later only? Why is this happening? Is there any workaround?
Any help is appreciated! :)
How are you creating your custom icons?
I'm choosing the icons in Options > Commands > Appearance. I'm also tried importing BMP files and using the transparency buttons, but they seem to fill the background color instead of transparency too.
The oldest version of CorelDRAW I have used with custom icons in X7.
For making my own icons to use in CorelDRAW, I.
I'm sorry to say that I don't remember which free offline conversion software I used to use for that. I later bought a license for icofx.
Oh I've I tried ico. Unfortunately it's the same. I think the appearance editor doesn't support real transparency, everything going through the editor will lose transparency.
