Creating nice looking toolbar images can be difficult. What I normally do is work with transparent PNG's.
After I put together a toolbar in PNG format I save it as a BMP. Open the file back up and re-color the alpha channel white.
This method works fine unless the image (button) is a round shape. Then I convert the alpha channel pixels to grey. I use RGB values of: 128, 128, 128 and also 192, 192, 192.
I attached an zoomed example showing alpha channel converted to the grey colors I mentioned.
Hope this helps.
