If I upload a JPG, everything goes fine. If I upload a PNG with transparency to my BT_Images in XCode and point my menu button to that, I get either a blank grey icon or a clear icon with my background (if I set a background for the buttons). I can't figure this out. I'd really like to have round buttons on my screen, made by saving a PNG with transparency so that the icons appear to be round buttons set over my background, but I can't seem to get the PNG to show up. Is this a problem with the transparency, with the PNG, or just some setting I've goofed up? Thanks! Title Comments Working on a 1.5 iOS app and I'm running into problems with my menu buttons.

Just a blank button or a background. I can load a JPG just fine. Comments Mark - Yep, I dragged into the BT_images folder in XCode, stopped the simulator, recompiled, and still nothin'.

I'm betting it has to do with the transparency. Mark Comments Hmm...I'll have to defer this, then, to those who have worked with menu buttons more than me.

I can come up with a graphical workaround. I was just hoping to be able to make more use of transparency for interesting design in the future! Comments That's my thought, too.
