<title>The bitmaps</title>
-<para>Basically, you need one bitmap file (in PNG format) by state of control. For example, with a <link linkend="Image">Image</link> control you need 1 image, with a <link linkend="Button">Button</link> control you need 3 images (for the up, down and mouseover states). Of course, the same bitmap file can be used for many controls, provided you want to display the same image!</para>
+<para>Basically, you need one bitmap file (in PNG format) by state of control. For example, with a <link linkend="Image">Image</link> control you need 1 image, with a <link linkend="Button">Button</link> control you need 3 images (for the up, down and mouseover states). The same bitmap file can be used for many controls, using <link linkend="SubBitmap">sub-bitmaps</link>.</para>
<para>The PNG format allows setting a transparency mask, which will be used wherever the image needs to be displayed (only non-transparent parts will be drawn). In addition, you can also specify a transparency color in the XML file: the bitmap will be considered as transparent wherever this color appears in the bitmap file.</para>
<note><para>Both the transparency mask and the transparent color will be taken into acount, so if the transparency mask is correctly set in the bitmap file you need to choose a unused color for the transparency color.</para></note>
+<note><para>Starting from VLC 0.8.5, it is not anymore necessary to use PNG format for the bitmap files: most common formats are supported. Using PNG format is still recommended, for compatibility with older VLC versions.</para></note>

<para>Create a "magnetic point" (or curve) in the current window.

To break the effect of 2 anchored windows, you need to move the window whose anchor has the lower priority.</para>

<title>Checkbox</title>
<para>Create a checkbox, i.e. a button with 2 states (checked/unchecked). So you need 6 images for a full-featured checkbox: each state has a basic image ('up' state), an image for the control being hovered by the mouse ('over' state) and an image corresponding to a click not yet released ('down' state). If you supply only the basic images, the other ones will be identical.</para>
