A fun do-it-yourself project....for Windows or OS-X

Over the past couple or three years, I've made hundreds of my own icons for Windows XP and Vista, and now Windows 7 using this wonderful little program. The reason I'm yapping about it again today is because this afternoon, I made some MacIntosh Icons for a friend in the U.K. who is a dedicated Apple user, and he has tried them out, and confirmed they work as this program says they will. So, no matter whether you're using Windows or OS-X for your operating system, this program is as good as its word - it makes icons in a range of sizes for use on either type of system. And today, I've proved it. You can also convert Windows icons into Mac Icons, and vice-versa, and you can make an icon from almost any image you choose, as long as you crop or re-size it to about 400 x 400 or less. For that, you need an editing program like PhotoStudio 5.5 or Irfanview or one of the more expensive ones. I use Irfanview sometimes, and PhotoStudio 5.5 the rest of the time, simply because I'm familiar with it. So, if you can't find ready-made icons to your liking, this will have you making your own in a very short while. It's easy to understand, and fun to use.
