PNG control graphic abnomality

Does anyone have a clue why I am getting these faint what seem to
be grid lines showing through my PNG images used in the menu
strip, tool strip and tree view controls?

If I freshly add the image it won't show until I restart VB.Net.

Is it a property somewhere I need to set?

Thanks,
Adam

Does it happen with GIF or JPEG's ?

I first used Icons but their quality was poor.

I was advised to convert them to PNG's. This improved the quality.

I'll try convering to JPEG's but its odd, if they're within the image for
whatever
reason surely they'll show using any format.

What gets me though is that when looking at them in say Windows explorer
they
look all 100% fine, no grid lines faintly showing through.

I had something similar a few months ago. Some png files in a set of
files I downloaded from somewhere showed something like grid lines
when used in an app. The lines also showed when displayed in an icon
editor, however, so I assumed the problem to be with the file itself.
I dumped that particular set an found another similar set that worked
fine.
