RscPictures Showing up barely visible

[Kempco_2 10]

For some reason I can't seem to get any of my images to show as intended. They always show up black and barley visible. Furthermore, colorText[] seems to have no effect. The size of images in question are 50px x 50px(square) with w and h both set to 0.03. Also,Squaring class dimensions (defined as absolute) via h = 0.03 * 4 / 3; w = 0.03 had no effect). What am I missing?

From common.hpp

#define JTKCT_STATIC 0 
#define JTKST_PICTURE 48 

class JTK_RscPicture {
idc = -1; 
type = JTKCT_STATIC;
style = JTKST_PICTURE;

colorBackground[] = { };
colorText[] = { };

font = "TahomaB";
sizeEx = 0.023;
x = 0.0; y = 0.2;
w = 0.2; h = 0.2;
text = "";
};

From dialog.hpp (FYI: These are the last classes in the dialog to ensure that they are in NOT behind the background).

//===========================button images=============================
	class JTK_HALO_Altitude_Increase: JTK_RscPicture{
		idc = JTK_IncreaseAltitude_IDC;
		colorText[] = {1,1,1,1};
		x = -0.05; y = 0.65;
		w = 0.03; h = 0.03;
		text = "imgs\arrow_up.paa";
	};

	class JTK_HALO_Altitude_Decrease: JTK_HALO_Altitude_Increase{
		idc = JTK_DecreaseAltitude_IDC;
		y = 0.70;
		text = "imgs\arrow_down.paa";
	};

Dimensions of the arrow images used are 50px x 50px.

Screen shot below. The arrows are circled in red.

Thanks,

I too would also like to know how to resolve the issue of faint pictures in A3. This exeprt is from my desciption.ext. I use it for my intro sequence pictures.

The image bmrflag.paa is fine but images BMRAirCombat.paa and OverTheReich.paa are very faint. They are called one at a time in my sequence. These images are 512 x 384 pixels.

The image with no problem is 512 x 256 pixels.

This all works fine in Arma 2 and only took minor path and font change to make it work in Arma 3. All except the barley visible images mentioned.

Any idea what is causing this?

Turns out TexView2 was updated back in December/November. When I updated to the current version the images were displayed as intended. /facepalm
