I think Ken Mayer can answer this as he had some trouble with ICONS sometime ago but I can't find the threads.

My question is : Are there any restrictions in what color, resolution etc must the icons have in order to be used in pushbuttons ?

Thank you

Actually, J.P. Martel gave me a lot of information. For pushbuttons the
only color issue is that if you want a transparent background you must
either use a transparent .wmf or .emf file, or set the background color
to have values of: red: 128; blue: 128; green: 0.

Not that I'm aware of, except that pushbuttons don't use .ico files. You
would need to convert them to .bmp, .gif, .png or something else ...
