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

I'll give it a shot when I have some time later this week. If I can figure it out, anyone should be able to...

Thanks!

Had anybody happened to make Cube Icons for the www.imobilewindows.com products; EyePhoto and SMS-Chat is mostly what I am concerned about.

Any chance of someone making me a nice icon for Costco Wholesale with space for me to put a names at the bottom of it? I made more quick dials on another of the faces but can't put a photo on them.

Spunks3, you're doing some great work here.

I'm about to get my hands on a Vogue, via VZW, next week, and I'm gonna get straight to it, when I get it, so could you do me the favor of making a tab out of this please?



Thanks
