[pygame] Problem with set_icon - image is distorted on taskbar

["Brian Bull" <Brian.Bull@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello list,

 

I'm trying to add an icon to my Pygame app using set_icon. The image is a 16x16 256-color BMP. The icon appears OK on
the title bar of the application, but on the taskbar it looks strangely distorted and ugly (with transparent holes through it).

 

Any suggestions as to what could be causing this problem?

I am running Win XP if that's relevant.

 

Cheers
Brian
