You mean to use XP style 32-bit icons in VB6 apps? yes, it is possible to 
use 32-bit alpha icons.

Dont select the icons at design time, load them using code above and 
resource file, having icon above 64x64 size is pretty useless and it only 
increases the size of our application. I only use 16, 32, 48 size icon with 
256 color and xp color each.

I would recommend microangleo icon editor, actually there are many good

| On Windows 7, the old icons of VB6 look bad.
|
| Can I have 64 by 64 icons for VB 6 programs?
|
| How can I make 64 x 64 icons? I have read that 256 colour bitmaps are
| accepted as icons. Is there a better way? I need to draw six curves
| for one icon.
|
| Thank you for any replies.
