<div>I have never read up on best practices/sizes etc for
creating program icons and BMP files for buttons/images
etc. Anyone got any good references to read up further??</div>
<div> </div>
<div>q1 – I have figured how to create a BMP with transparent
background for bit buttons etc so the image is not square.
How do I create same for program ICO files? All my program
icons in the task bar are square as a result.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>q2 – Where does everyone else store their image files?
Really they should be considered part of the project. Only
the IDE does not store what the original filename was, so to
find the image again (for a bitbutton/program icon etc) I
have to know what it was and where. I haven’t made up
mind between storing them in the project source folder or a
separate images folder...</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Any Embarcadero programmers out there reading this – how
about the IDE stores the names of the files when it loads
them, so it can be found again.</div>
