Help with start icon with .msstyles

[Dark Knight]

So i used msstyleEditor and I have these images which match the dimensions of the original: https://imgur.com/a/38J7EkF

I replaced the images located in TaskbarPearl > PEARLICON, and then saved it with MUI, whatever that means. It wouldn't save the normal way.

After I did that, I applied the theme and image just looks wrong.


If I hover on it though, it looks okay:

If I use white instead of pink, it's the same problem:


What could be causing this? I'm very new to this stuff, so I do apologize.

This is what is causing your problem, from the msstyleEditor Github site ......



msstyleEditor does not support bmp images, you should really be using Windows Style Builder.

Convert your .bmp start button to a transparent .png .
Create a folder called "Start Button" or "Start Orb" in your theme folder and use StartIsBack (Windows10) or StartAllBack (Windows 11) and call the image from those applications.

For some reason using bmp images in third party themes creates havoc.
