Windows Desktop/Sidebar Gadget with Recording Schedule

UJB, that is the code I modified (before Response.ContentType...) I tried .Png first but that gave a GDI+ error. Returning the byte[] for channel.Icon works too

ImageConverter converter = new ImageConverter();
Response.BinaryWrite((byte[])converter.ConvertTo(img, typeof(byte[])));

I had to go with .jpeg due to browser versions....not sure if we are far enough out from windows 7 (I don' think it supported .png very well) to switch to that....I'll look into the last code you posted to see how/what exactly that is doing...the first code altered the image by clearing a color which I don't want to do......I just want to take whatever the image is and return it to the browser....unmodified. The last code you posted may do that......I'll check it out.

How does it render within NEWA?

It is not transparent (black background) in NEWA as well.

At least it is consistent.

I will play around with Martin's suggestion later today.

In the meantime you could use Paint.Net to save your .png logo as a .jpg and see if that resolves it temporarily.

I will play around with Martin's suggestion later today.

If you edit web\App_Code\Download.aspx.cs starting at line 178 you can try the raw download

Code:

//img.Save(Response.OutputStream, ImageFormat.Jpeg);
                        ImageConverter converter = new ImageConverter();
                        Response.BinaryWrite((byte[])converter.ConvertTo(img, typeof(byte[])));

Ok...attached is the latest patch that includes martin's update to write the channel icon as a byte array which appears to work fine without doing anything to the native image type.

This has the same build/version number of the last patch (and doesn't seem to be working for me)?
