I'm using the Menu Button plugin for my home screen, and have .png images for each button. Each image has a transparent background as they are irregularly shaped. When I first run the app, the buttons appear correctly (with transparency). The problem I'm having is if I rotate the device, or click on a button and return to home...the images now have a black background instead of transparent. Where do I begin to fix this? This is for Android and Eclipse. I'm testing on a device not emulator. Thanks, Kyle Title Comments Hello, I'm getting further along with my app, and I've come across another road block.

If I recall correctly, when I put the images into the project build it worked better than if I loaded them remotely. Something else I also remember is it helps to optimise the size of the button images. And I used .png's. Comments I haven't used this plugin recently, but I think I once had this problem too.

I had already moved the files into my project in Eclipse, but was still using a URL in BT control panel. Changed that to the file, and it works perfectly. Thanks again, Kyle Comments Thank you.
