Icon for Garmin bmp 24 Bit

Hi again.

Anyone around here that has any idea how to get transparency for some parts of an icon when you save the icon as .bmp in 24 Bit?

When i save in 256 colors i get the transparency to work with the old trick magenta (255 0 255)
But i really would like to find a way to do it also in 24 Bit for my garmin 3597.

best regards Jocke

Why

Why do you not want to use 256 color Icons?

It's actually no big deal,

It's actually no big deal, but I like the possibilities that 24 bit allows in the layout of the icons, the only negative with 24 bit is that I did not manage to create transparency.
