maybe soon

I used Gimp to create 3 icons (BibleReader, MSReader, and Mobipocket) for the Vista Cube V2. I'm VERY new to using graphs software and it works find. I added two scripts from the Gimp script library; one to add Styles and one to be able to make coping layers easier.

I'm using the OuterGlow style on the icon pressed, is the what I should use? What are the RBG numbers for the Glow when an icon is pressed?

** Edit **
I'm also using the following applications:
An application to extract Icons from exes, dlls, etc - I think it is called Icon Batch Extractor
An application to convert BMPs to BRN and BRN to BMPs - BRNConvert
An application to edit my phone registry thru the sync cable on my PC - CeRegEditor
