I am trying to add a set of nice icons to my custom (plugin-based)
Acrobat toolbar. The issues are those to be expected:

 - What dimensions are acceptable?
 - What color depth?
 - What graphic file format?
 - How do I handle transparency?

As a newbie, I just discovered that bitmaps (*.bmp) don't seem to
support 32 bit color (or transparency?)

My target is Windows XP, which apparently supports 32 bit color.

What I currently have is 24x24x24 bitmaps, but the background shows as
white.

TIA,

-Ramon
