Colors in notifyIcon

[Bobbber]

Hi guys,

I have created some icon files (256 color). They look great. I'm using the notifyIcon to put these icons into the system tray thus :

System.Drawing.Icon ico = new System.Drawing.Icon("checking.ico");
sysTray.Icon = ico;

However, when the icon is in the system tray, it looks like it's been rendered in 16 colors or something!

Is this correct, can I get round this problem!?!?!

(It's in Windows 2000)

Thanks!

Rob

I think in Win2k it only supports 16-color icons in the system tray. Win XP supports 256-color icons there.
