I have VS 6.0 and i've been trying to incorporate icons with colors more than 16 but i keep getting a distorted, downgraded appearance. Is there a way to fix this?
( I'm not in front of VC right now ) did you create icons with bigger palettes ? in VC++6, when you open up an icon, there's a menu somewhere ( in a toolbar ? ) where you can create icons with a different palette. In VC.net, I think it's in a contextual menu when you right click on an icon. also, I don't believe VC can handle hi-res bitmaps or icons ( more than 256 colors ), yo might need to "patch" them manually in the resources; create a dummy icon file and replace it with a hi-res one, and NEVER editing it in VC.
