Make your own Icons!

[dark_xinos]

Have you ever wanted to make your very own icons?
I mean the type of icons windows uses for stuff.

Here you go;
1. Start MS-paint (or any other program that can draw in pixels, but I use Paint)
2. Sett the picture size 32x32 pixels, (this is done at the task bar or if you are precise, you can use the mouse cursor to change size)
3. Make a picture, remember that the color that is asigned as secondary, meaning the color the erasor is asigned to, will be invissable. To change this you must set a different color as you save your icon.
4. Now that you are done, save the icon. First, make sure the fileformat is set to 24bit bmp, or something like that, and at the end of the name of your icon type: ".ico"

And there you go!

You don't even need to add '.ico'; it'll still work as a bitmap.

I could do that. But it's easier just to use Visual C++.
