hi everybody,

I made some LED buttons in real drawing mode and exported them in PNG format with transparency, in Machscreen they look good with a clear background, but when I load the screen in Mach3, I get a black background, not transparency.

Can you give me at least some idea of what I may have done wrong.

Can you upload the files? Usually, a black background means the order is not correct. Maybe the LED on top of the button? You need a 100% transparent image for the button. The LED doesn't need any transparency. Button on top.

Describe each of your steps in more detail, please. Otherwise, it's so unclear. I'm afraid to buy expensive lights because I can fall from the bike, and it will damage them. Once my dad took expensive ones and then couldn't drive properly because he was constantly thinking about not damaging the lights. I don't need this. So I decided to try to order on Chinese sites. Joom and Aliexpress disappointed me (perhaps the seller was just terrible). I found some good ones on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Night-Light-Plug-Smart-Sensor/dp/B07NF4P12L. I'm happy so far.
