Hi!
I would like to create a nice DCRs for my components!
I saw a DCR with images with more than 256 Color, but I didn't saw any
documentation about this! and the Image editor doesn't support it

Somebody could help me!

Victor

A .dcr file is just a .res file with a different extension. You can
use any resource editor you like to create a .res file with true color
bitmaps (or whatever) and rename it for use with your components. Note
that not all systems / users run with more than 256 colors (there are
probably one or two in 16 color mode<G>) so they may not get the
effect you expect with a "true color" bitmap.

Good luck.

Kurt
