Trouble with images

Hi all I'm just trying out the Game Editor Demo with the hope of making a few games for my GP2x. I have come across a small problem.

I'm trying to load the image below as my test background (there will also be a foreground image).

I can't find out how to stop Game editor from making the image transparent, the image is a non-transparent png I have also tried a bmp image but Game Editor also makes this transparent. Below is what Game Editor outputs when I click "Game Mode"

Thanks for any help you can give me.

Problem sorted I added 1 pixel in the top left corner of my .bmp with a colour not being used in the background and it sorted it out.

Found the solution in a similar thread I should have done a search first really.

:D

if it is something like a PNG image, and you have the gimp, you can just go layers>transparency>add alpha channel, and then save it, and your problem is solved!
