Custom loading wheel question...

RedRobo

I want to use my own custom loading wheel image. I've tried using a .png with transparency but Gamesalad seems to insist on putting it on a semi transparent grey background. Why does it do this and is there any way to get it to cut out the image correctly?
Basically I need a black spinning wheel against a patterned white background so using black on solid white or semi-transparent grey looks a bit rubbish. The default white (no image chosen) also gets lost and looks bad.

No, there is not way to get around this. I have, however, seen some pretty clever uses to make that background less noticeable.

Thanks for that.

It's a shame...wonder why it's like that? Doesn't seem to make sense.

Ok I'll have to find another solution...
