Hi,
New to the pronto...and loving it already!!
What I would like to do is create my own buttons by modifying some I have found that I really like.
Is there a way of saving all the buttons/icons as bitmaps from a gallery or ccf file, I know it can be done one at a time by accessing properties going to the icon and right clicking then 'save' but this seems very longwinded.
Any help appreciated
Andrew

Check out the files section, there are various ccf decomiler programs that take apart ccf files, dumping the icons into a folder somewhere on your PC. Do not know if there is then a way to re build a ccf from the folders the decompiler creates, but even if not, having the icons all dumped out and saved as bmp's gives you one less job to do

Have just tried creating a couple of logos from bmp images, but they need to be saved in 1 4 or 8 bit format. MS paint can't do this,do you happen to know of any free progs that can do this? In 3 years this is only the second time I have wanted to create any of my own icons, so i do not want to spend money on Paint Shop Pro or similar for the lack of use it will get. Any ideason a freebe to do this ?

Sure it can, choose "save as", and in the the bottom, drop down list choose "256 color bmp".

I'll have to try again then, cause I am sure that last time i tried saving as 256 bmp , the pronto would still not load it, giving the must be 1 4 or 8 bit image error.

Well, you must be experiencing user error.

A 1 bit image is Black and White Only 2^1 (2) colors.

A 4 bit image is color or grayscale with 2^4 (16) colors.

An 8 bit image is color or grayscale with 2^8 (256) colors.
