Ronald,

I can try to make the icons transparent, or if you have access to
Adobe Illustrator, you can do it yourself (maybe faster ;)). I created
the icons using illustrator, and the original illustrator files are in
the pixory source code repository, under doc icons. I'm not sure how
good illustrator is at transparency, but it's certainly worth a shot.

Let me know if you don't have illustrator.

regards,

joe
