The graphical presentation is good but user interaction is not intuitive - you have to read the short tutorial first to understand it. I think the following would be a possible solution: If the align tool is clicked, it shows 2 new buttons next to the align button. One with yellow segment and one with green segment as icon. You can toggle through the 2 modes using SPACE or temporarily switch the modes holding Ctrl key. Just an idea here, I know it is easier said than done. :) > As you mention GIMP: what tool would do you recommend for proper icon > designing?

Most icon projects have svg versions of their icons, so I guess they use Inkscape or a similar tool. To render very small icons, I have seen they remove some detail from the vector image first.
