Black background on buttons with 24bit Desktop (FIXED)

Just installed XnView 1.95.4 on a machine with a Matrox G550. We can't run 32bit Desktop there.
The problem is that all buttons in the toolbar have black background/border
That's really ugly (almost unusable). I guess this is because we run the Desktop in 24bit mode!?
Can this be fixed?

Use another…

Hello !
• I'ld bet my boots that you are using the default skin, aren't you ?
- In fact, you need the 8 BPP version, it's embedded in the resources too,
but the snag is that you can
not choose it in the Options
separately !
- I agree that's a kind of
since the programme fails to detect the current screen colour depth used in Windows…
• The only workaround “on the fly” is to use another skin having a 256-colour or 24 BPP version (main.bmp) in its folder.
It'll be used and the BG and borders will be “transparent”. Ensure you that it's designed as “
version = 4” in its <info.txt> !
- Whether you don't find one you like, please just contact me via PM…

I'm not on that machine right now. Is there a version of the new default skin that works with 24bit?

- Download feqwci.png, convert it to BMP format and rename it to main.bmp.
- Download 1r5jpl.png, convert it to BMP format and rename it to browser.bmp.
- Create a subdirectory named mezich in the skins folder of your XnView installation and put main.bmp & browser.bmp there.
- Copy & paste the following text into Notepad and save it as info.txt in the new directory.

Which BMP format (settings) exactly?

1r5jpl.png is a truecolor image.
feqwci.png has less than 256 unique colors, so I saved it as an 8-bit image (to save a few bytes).
There are no special settings required for the conversion. You don't even need to define the transparency, because all
fuchsia-colored areas are discarded by XnView's skinning engine. Just leave the
RLE compression and
OS/2 checkboxes in their default state (= deactivated).
For more information on the subject visit
Claude “Clo” Charries' site or take a look at Adrian Kousz's
XnView Skin & Specification.

Thank you! Worked fine! Perfect.
Any chance that this will get "fixed" in one of the next updates (so that it automatically detects 24bit dektop and uses different toolbar images)?
