Hello! Potentially answered a million times/nooby question but I've been unable to source the answer.

I've set my start icon to a custom image, it looks great I've resized it to 58 which was the best size for it astheticaly, however, when I mouse over it; it fades to block white! Which is super ugly.

I've looked around in settings and have found no immediately obvious setting for this. I just want to turn it off, or just have it fade into the same image as a work around.

Anyone know what I'm blathering about and know how to stop it? :D

Here's a shonky image of what I mean:





Non moused over = Great.
Moused over = BLEURGH.

The Start Button image must contain 3 states of the button: Normal, Hovered and Pressed. Like this:



And the image must be a 32-bit BMP or 32-bit PNG (24-bit + transparency). Use an bitmap image editor which supports 32-bit PNGs or 32-bit BMPs.

Fab, thank you. Knew it was probably something blindingly obvious.
