Windows 10: How do get my Credential Provider V2 to use a Circular Logo?

I read the Credential Provider technical reference and did a lot of trial and error testing and it just seems impossible to get Credential Provider to use a circular logo despite the technical reference saying that it is possible.

How do get my Credential Provider V2 to use a Circular Logo?

I read the Credential Provider technical reference and did a lot of trial and error testing and it just seems impossible to get Credential Provider to use a circular logo despite the technical reference saying that it is possible. Right now, any transparency I give it replaces the transparency with a white background. I did figure out how to change the color of the background and in doing so I looked up the source code to find what function that was displaying the logo (that was a while ago, I don't remember which one now) and it seemed that because of the function that was being used, the alpha channel would always have a solid color and transparency was not allowed by that function. So I resort to asking the forums... How do I get my Custom Credential Provider V2 to show a circular logo? It's gotta be possible because the default Credential Providers do it. Btw I need this to work on both Windows 10 and Windows 11.
