Resource transparency - 8/11/2019 6:49:53 AM

I was trying to use circular resource icons like the board game, but it looks like there isn't a transparency colour set for resources.
I tried the usual Fuscia and then the one that port/city icons use, but no luck.
Is there no transparency colour because the resource icons are square?

Most bitmaps are not loaded as transparent. That is to avoid the possibility of the transparent color matching something in the bitmap image. I remember that creating the air unit bitmaps was a hassle because of the various camouflage colors.
