OT: the toolbar (tools.bmp) and building Vim on WinXP

[Martin K. <m_...@br...>]

Hi. First of all, this isn't really a cream question, I hope that's
ok (just this once). If not, I'll take this question over to the
regular vim-list.

I followed the excellent mini-tutorial on compiling Vim on win32
found on <URL:http://cream.sourceforge.net/vim.html>. (A very nice,
clear and easy-to-follow tutorial I might add; many thanks!)

However, if I try to use the Gnome2 toolbar icon resource
(tools.bmp, <URL:http://cream.sourceforge.net/tools.bmp>), the
result is... well, just plain ugly. I believe this is a problem on
my end, but would like your help in debugging the problem.

As I'm not on that machine right now, so I'm afraid I can't produce
a screenshot at the moment. The toolbar looks... eh...
non-transparent. I can see the actual images of the icons, but
they're against a hazy white-ish background.

I notice that when the build is finished, I have a new .bmp in the
src dir, tools16.bmp, and I naturally suspect the issue is something
about the color-depth of... well, what?

Any ideas, suggestions?

Best regards
