    Hi folks,

    Looking to get software which is similar to BGInfo however I want it to past a company's logo in a .png format.

    Anyone know any software that would be able to do this?

    Thanks for your help

    Could you not just save the logo as a .bmp?

    Logo needs to have a clear background - you can't do that with a bitmap AFAIK

    I dont know about gif but you can defiantly have transparent background in JPEG.

    Are you sure about that? JPEG doesn't natively support transparency. See here. Gif or PNG are the best way to go.
