So like is there a program that can make icons? Just simple basic ones. I really only want to have this pic as an icon.

Just resize to the size of an icon and then save as .ico?

Oh. When I did that method I always tried making it PNG and then adding the ico extension to it. I'll try out this bitmap one later.

EDIT: Decided to do it now. The icon is a bit blurry but I can live with that. Thanks so much DT. ^.^

Sorry for the double post.
Buuut. Why doesn't transparency work? I've stuffed it into Photoshop and still no result. It ends up having an ugly black border around it.

You could use Gimp, resize it and set the extension to .ico if you want a real high quality icon.

But shouldn't it work in Photoshop?

oh, didn't realize you had photoshop. You can add a .ico format plugin to your program files.

So just make your ico in photoshop and the transparency should be fine.
