Hey everyone. I developed a quick and cool little icon you can use for pretty much anything you can think of on your desktop (or where ever on your computer). You could make a shortcut to MM.net and change it's icon to this perhaps? Anyways, enjoy....

Any chance you could link a version that was just in .bmp .jpg or some other format?

If I remember correctly you can make your own icons for windows.
Using a paint program your create or resize an image to 32x32 pixels.
Save the image as a bitmap (.bmp)
Then go into windows explorer (*not internet explorer*) find the bitmap file you just saved and rename the extention .ico
The computer will ask if you are sure you want to make the change, say yes.
You should be able to see the icon after you make the extention change.

Example
Test.bmp is changed to Test.ico

The last time i did it, I didnt even save it as a .bmp I went straight to a .ico save. I'm currently running two custom icons on my work computer.

Thanks Jourdan!

Here is a screen shot of my desktop and your icon linking to the MM.net homepage.

I'm not running Windows, though, which is the issue. I was hoping to get the icon graphic in something other than .ico format for that reason.
