The code you use is correct, but did you:

Put this on the really top of your code:


Call this command every loop?


that should make it work. if it doesn't, post your code here and we'll take a look at it!

Don't use .jpg either. It takes our beautifully created graphics and makes mud out of them. It changes the colors to something similar but nothing near the original. Use .png instead so you have crisp lines/colors and you can use transparencies too.

The texture backdrop worked!

And maybe the Sync helped too (But I used it in the code that didn't work )

Tanks!

[Edit]
I now have a .png with transperacy, but its not transperant at all.
Do I have to add something?

You need to make all that stuff around the elf and the baby carriage either a transparency (usually a white and gray checkerboard) or black (0,0,0) colored.

this is where my signature is supposed to be.

Sorry Ravinos... sometimes when people are still in a newbie slap and they post last it doesn't update the list to show there's a new message in the thread. I saw this message as me being the last poster till Castek posted.

Castek is right. The image needs to be in the same folder as your source code... or you can add the directory to the filename to open a direct location no matter what directory your in. Like "C:\Documents\Darkbasic Pro\My Projects\logo.png" or if it's in a directory off the directory of the source code you can use "Directory Name\logo.png".
