Hey guys,
I've been spending days trying to design custom icons for my desktop, but I've looked at countless tutorials, downloaded several file type plug-ins, and tried over and over again to create and save icons to no avail.
What I'm trying to do is create icons that appear to be glowing, therefore I need an icon file that allows for transparency and semi-transparency. From what I've read all over the place, the icon files used by vista support it, but I can't find a working plug-in to save this type of icon file. Either I'm doing something wrong, or I'm just dumb, possibly both.
I'm not new to photoshop, but I am new to making icons, so please bear with me, but if anybody could post/find me a decent, reliable tutorial and/or a file type plug in that works with vista and transparency, I would be forever in your dept. Seriously I'd really appreciate it, I've been at it for days now. If you need any more info from me let me know! Thanks a lot guys.
