It's fairly simple... What I do is create 32x32 images in Photopaint (you can use any graphics app). Then I cut and paste my work into an icon creating program called Microangelo.

You can actually make the icons any sized and then change the icon size in Windows appearance setings....

Anyway, I usually make them anti-aliased over a blue b/g in Photopaint and then I give them the transparents backgrounds in Microangelo, that's why they look nice on the desktop I linked...

ah, ye of little faith. Go here and look upon all that is dual-screen wallpapers. and while youre at devart, drop by my page and have a look around.

heres mine.

What's the name of the font you use for the icon text? Looks sharp, I might need to get my hands on it for the graphics work.

It's called "Dungeon". It's a very nice and versatile font.
