#135 Palm OS 5.2 makes icons ugly

[Anonymous]

Hi,

The lastest palm OS on my new Zire 72 has a feature in
the launcher that allows for backgrounds. The keyring's
icon unfortunately has no alpha channel, so it gets an
ugly white square around it. I tried editing the .ppm
file myself in the gimp to make the white transparent,
but the .ppm format doesn't seem to support it. Can we
switch to another format to allow the see-through
background.

I think the problem is the old version of PilRC. The next version will be
build with pilrc-3.2, so the problem should vanish.

I also saw this on my Tungsten E2 (OS version 5.4.7).

It's fixed with this patch.
