Same here.

While on that subject, how could I define a given area in an icon which would be transparent?

poide have an icon editor

Try Axialis IconWorkshop. It's not free, but you can download a trial version that has pretty much full functionality. Very featureful.

I'm pretty sure this is what Hutch used to create icons for his programs here.

Or you can use my li'l command-line (console) utility to convert a BMP to an ICO, BMP2ICO attached here. It lets you define a color index as transparent (you need to know what the palette index is, easily found with any BMP image editor).

Thanks guys for the links . It took me a while to get the IcoFX to do what I wanted (must be old age setting in ) but finally got the intended results.
