A Google search for "create icon" would be a good place to start.

At google look for pixle toolbox that is a great program to create icons,cursors, and patterns. Or take the easy way and change the extension of a .bmp to .ico and you got an icon, but changing the extension trick does not work all the time when loading into programs.

Anxiously awaiting BlueGUI v2

Post some Screenies! And since you live in Tennesse, oh say hi to Elvis for me (even though he's dead).

Drums are a great responsibility... They aren't just for playing around with.

i use iconforge4 found free on a pc magazine ages ago.
makes all the icon bit sizes and works a treat for me.

hes already got a solution, I was just adding an alternative method in case someone else stumbles across this post.

If no-one gives your an answer to a question you have asked, consider:- Is your question clear.- Did you ask nicely.- Are you showing any effort to solve the problem yourself
