Hello, I remeber doing a similar program a few years ago, I made a digitla chronometer for icon... that was back in the VB 6.0 era. Oh, well.
For doing your Icon, depending on the IDE you have, it may have or not a tool for do it, so I'm taking it doesn't have. In that case go for IcoFx, this software is given for free (It's freeware, not free software, it's eula is attributive and denies modification) for creating and editing Icons on Windows Xp/Vista/7 here the URL: http://icofx.ro/ This is the one I use currently, may be other user can suggest you other solutions. About setting the Icon on your project, you need to add it to a resources file, and reference it in the project file (project properties). For the Icon on the taskbar, I'm taking you mean the notify area, if so.. you can use a NotifyIcon component on your form, or directly from code. Give it a try and post back if you get trouble. For setting the icon on Visual Studio: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/339stzf7.aspx For info on NotifyIcon: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa984200(VS.71).aspx These sounds like issuses long solved for a lot of programmers, I understand if you are not an artist, but that doesn't mean you can't know how... so go and tell those developers you know that still dosn't know.
