How to make a sprite with invisible background

Zizanyman

In my game, I have an image as the background. However, I also have an icon(button), and whenever I put the button in the scene, there is a giant white rectangle around it. I am also going to have the same problem in the near future with a complex sprite. Is there any way to get rid of this, and just have the oval that I am using for my button? Thanks!

the 'background' has to be transparent in your icon, check it in any image software if that's so. in particular i think it cannot be a jpg as it does not store the alpha (transparency) values of the pixels. use e.g. png.

Thank you! That worked!
