Hello! I have one delicate obstacle in creating simple game... I have to put an image as some sort of skill bar... It is not rectangular, so there is some blank space... I edited this image in photoshop, and i deleted white background, so the background layer is transparent... But when I load that image to dark basic pro, there is white background... Here is the screenshot (I used Silkroad Online's skill bar for testing...)
What I want is invisible white background of skill bar image at the bottom...

if you made the "background" transparent already, save it as 24 bit .png format with alpha channel, then in program, load and paste the image with the transparency flag set to 1.

Load Image "File Name", ImgNum,1
Paste Image ImgNum, 100, 450,1

otherwise, we'll need some more info on how you're handling the image in your program and maybe the image itself to see if there's an issue with it.

Are you displaying the skill bar as a sprite? Try making the background Black instead of White, and then use the SET SPRITE functionality to set the third flag to "1".

Of course, you will need to take great care that there is no black in your skill bar, or that will be transparent to, but you can get around that by using a really, really dark grey.

Assuming it's a plane 3D object, use the "set object transparency" to enable the alpha channel.
