Question:
How do I set the transparent color in an TImageList so the 
background color doesn't show?

Answer:
Use the TImageList.AddMasked(Bitmap: TBitmap; MaskColor: TColor)
method. You can either pass the transparent color yourself in 
the second parameter or clDefault to let the imagelist take the 
bottom-left pixel's color.  TSpeedButton and TBitBtn use this 
method.  Check-out buttons.pas (around line 560) to see an 
example.
