Patrick, From every web site that I read up on for this subject, most all of them gave the same information: A good icon should be 16x16 pixels, have no more than 16 colors, and should be optimized for load time (compressed) resulting in an image of 1K or less. A good place for beginners to start would be favicon.com, where some of this information can be found. Plus you can create an icon online there as well (with Java). [ zack ]
