V5
In diagrams I have tried supplied icons and they work.
I have made icons that have 4bit colours and also 24bit colours with transparency and also with white background.
None of them show other that grey with white background.
I have tried changing the diagram background and I have tried .png
I have changed the icon background from transparent to white, all to no avail
They are RGB as are the standard ones. I am using Axialis workshop.
I am missing something obvious but cannot find anything in the knowledgebase, or I am looking for the wrong thing.
Can anybody suugest what is wrong please.

Re: Icon colour not showing.
I suspect you have not seen the well hidden FH Help on creating your own Icons.
It is found by a Search for icons format and opening the Box Features Dialog page.
Under Icon it says:

Have you seen fhugdownloads:diagramicons|> Downloads & Links ~ Diagram Icons that may have what you are looking for, or that you can use to get started.You can also create and use your own icons if you wish. You need to use another program to do this. You can, for example, use the Paint accessory program that comes with all versions of Windows. If you use this program to create your own icons, remember to save your image in bitmap (.bmp) format. Whatever colour appears in the top-left hand corner of the bitmap will be interpreted by Family Historian as transparent. So, for example, if the top-left corner is white, every white pixel in your bitmap will appear to be transparent when the icon is displayed in a diagram.

Re: Icon colour not showing.
Thank you very much for you time. I searched everywhere I could think of. The answer (thank you) will be the corner icon being transparent colour.
