Creating icon using mspaint

Original title : need help to make icons

I have 2 questions.  1. when I do an icon in the paint with a white background it becomes black when I use it.  I need help in fixing.  2. How can I make my icon have a transparent background if possible I can do this in paint

Hi Thexpguy,

I suggest you to create icons, once more, in the painting by trying the following steps and see if that helps.

a. click the 'Start' button on the taskbar and type "mspaint" on the search bar. Press 'Enter' to load Microsoft Paint.
b. click on the blue button to the left of the 'Home' tab and select 'properties '. Set the values of 'Width' and 'Height' to match the size of your icon you want in pixels. Click on the 'OK' button to allow to resize canvas Microsoft Paint.
c. click on the "Home" tab and then click the 'magnifying glass' in the group 'tools '. Click anywhere on the canvas to increase the zoom level. Keep clicking on until the canvas is filled almost to the top of your window.
d. use other tools found in the Group of 'Tools' to make your icon. Click one of the colors available in the "Colors" group to set the current color of the selected tool. Draw or paint on the canvas using the left button of the mouse.
e. click New button on the blue menu and choose "Save as." Set the file name to any name you want and add ".ico" (without the quotes) next to him. Game of the box "Save as type" to "24-bit Bitmap" so Microsoft Paint correctly saves the file as an icon. Click on the ' save' button to save the current folder icon.
f. click on the Start button and go to "Run". Type "mspaint" and click the OK"" button. If you use Windows Vista, type "mspaint" in the search box, and press "enter."
g. go to the high 'Image' menu of the Microsoft Paint window and click on "choose attributes. Fill in the text boxes that represent the dimensions desired for your icon and click 'OK' to save your changes. See the tips below if you need help with the appropriate dimensions.
h. click on the magnifying glass on the Toolbox icon and place the cursor of the mouse on the canvas. Keep the left mouse button until the view zooms to large display, where you can still see the whole canvas...
i. pull the canvas using the paint and drawing tools found on the left Toolbox. Click one of the colors on the palette of background color to the color of a link to the tool.
j. click on the "File" menu and select "save under" to bring up the standard Save dialog box. Type a file name that you want in the text box and add ".ico" suffix so that Windows recognizes as an icon. Change the box 'Save as type' to 'Bitmap 24 bits' and click 'Save' to create the icon at the current location.

  • Whay are ALWAYS created icons?

    When I create a new file and save it - a new desktop icon is ALWAYS created.  How can I set desktop to create icons by choice and not automatically?

    There is a dedicated folder called "desktop".

    what you put in this folder, icons will be automatically created and then displayed on the desktop.

    Basically, you need to save the personal folders, such as my documents.

    and the programs must be installed in the folder program files in the desktop folder.

    Take the pix you want to use and convert to ICO file type.

    Image Converter online free
    http://www.coolutils.com/online/image-converter/

    Place the pix that results in a Windows folder. Right click on a shortcut. Properties | Change icon and navigate to the folder and select the ICO pix you want to use.

    If the original size of the pix is too big for what it work, you can make them smaller before changing to an ICO with this free tool, unless you already have a program for resizing.

  • Create NAR using RDBMS

    Hi all

    I want to create network using RDBMS access restrictions.  I have already imported all of my NDG and AAA Clients using this feature, now, I want to create that same way NARS.  I don't see anything about the Code of the Action for the addition of NARs.

    Is it possible with the RDBMS?

    Note: I have to use RDBMS cause I use ACS 4.2 on a box SE.

    Thank you

    Reasue:

    There are stocks listed only for Add/Remove "Network Access Restrictions. You cannot add/remove/change Shared NAR. This can be a new feature in the development of the EC list.

    Action for the initialization codes and change the filters to access:

    You may go for user/group level NAR that is possible with RDBMS.

    Is there a switch for ThinReg DO NOT create icons? We want the file associations, but not of icons created (on the desktop or in the start menu).

    Icon=%systemroot%\Installer\{90140000-0011-0000-0000-0000000FF1CE}\accicons.exe

    Please notify.
    Thank you
    Andrew

    Hi André,.

    You can create new types of collection (varray/table) in two ways:
    (1) in the browser - find 'Types of data' > 'Types of Collection' node menu dropdown - there just 'create new collection type' it
    (2) in the types of data model diagram - you can create collection "some type structured" or collection of references to the it - use 'new Collection... '. "tool and click first on sight structured type and after the structured type that will contain the collection - new attribute is added to the latter and if there is none this type of collection already didn't set the new collection type are created and you can change it later.

  • Why the Desktop Cleanup Wizard brand most used icons used as ever?

    No idea why my Desktop Cleanup Wizard marks my most that never used to use icons and offers to delete?

    I can do anything except turn off reminders of 60 days?

    Hello

    Usually, the Office Assistant filter does not remove the icons, they are moved to a folder and you can put them on the desktop if you want. The folder that is automatically created the first time, the wizard removes icons is
    C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Desktop\Unused desktop shortcuts.

    But back to your question:
    I put t know why the office cleaner chooses the most used icons on the desktop for cleaning but why don t you disable this feature?

    To stop the wizard to run automatically 60 days:

    1. right click on an empty spot on the desktop and then click Properties to open the display properties dialog box.
    2. click on the Desktop tab.
    3. click on the desktop to open the desktop items dialog box customize.
    4. Click to disable the wizard desktop cleanup run every box of 60 days.
    5. click OK twice to close the dialog boxes.
