Charles, you need to create a 16-color (NOT 16-bit color, but 16 colors) icon. I use GraphicConverter, which does a wonderful job. Import/open a 32x32 graphic, downsample it to 16 colors, and then save it in "Windows Icon (*.ico)" format.

(I'm a Mac user, mainly, maybe that add to the mystery for me.) How do you do this? What software and/or process do you use? Do you have to do anything special for XP?

Or would the goal be to edit the icon stack of Metacard (the one that gets embedded...?) On the Win side of things, you can set the icons from within the standalone builder. -Mark Talluto - Charles --------------- Charles Buchwald Peregrine New Media Victoria, BC, Canada Boston, MA, USA
