ok here goes, i am working on making Navi button and i got the bitmap and the codes for the key clicks so it changes colors when pressed but the problem i am having is for each stock button most of them have a bitmap file i cant read and i thing it has to do with the making the edges of the real bitmap smooth, most of the stock pictures in the bitmap file has a black edge around them but when in the navi theres no black edges, so i think its what i need to edit but i have no clue what program or how to open the unreadable bitmap. if i am wrong can someone please guide me in the right direction to make my new button smooth on the edges :):) thanks in advanced :!:

you just have to uncompress the bitmap, download the gimp.exe file from this link
