Custom icons should be icons - not photos, drawings, or anything else. In addition, ''give your icon a transparent background'' - no-one likes to see a fugly black box in their UI, making the icon look half-assed. If you have trouble with making a transparent icon, just google "transparent image ''your graphics editor here''"; and save as TGA or PNG. | Custom icons should be icons - not photos, drawings, or anything else.
