The hint about transparency doesn't work.

My Add-In toolbar button is not transparent.
I read the hint about the transparency bug of the image list in the manual and in this forum but that is not working for me.
The transparency color of the image list is transparent by default. I add an image (.ico file) and select that in the button (where transparent is also the default transparency color). The button background appears blue instead of transparent.
I tested this with Office 2000 and 2002. I'm using VisualStudio 2008.

Hello Jan,

Could you send an add-in project to the support email address. You can find the address in the readme.txt file in the products home folder. Typically it is "C:\Program Files\Add-in Express\Add-in Express 2008 for .NET Standard".

Hello Jan,

You should use the bmp (Bitmap) file format instead of icons.
