The Toolkit will allow you to put buttons in your profile that are .png, .tif, .tga, but they will not display correctly. But you can put them in, and drag them around to the correct locations, and Save your profile.

Then you can 'view' your profile in TouchBuddy to see what it will look like.

As Zorlac said, I'm coding in VB6 and it does not have native support for anything but .bmp, .jpg, and .gif. I 'can' use api calls to get .png, .tif, and .tga onto VB6 Controls, but it looks screwed up when you drag them and the control the image is on is not transparent to the Tab screen control that is behind it.

It's kind of a Catch-22. I can do what zorlac is doing (I think) and paint each image onto a background on a single screen area/control. But then it is not draggable, and the Toolkit needs this. I still would like to get this to work, but it appears that I would have to do some tricks. Not sure....
