A bit more icons made in Xtreme

I think marshmallows are technically mostly sugar. Maybe someone will wiki them and give a link. I am too lazy.

There is a variation of roasted marshmallows called s'mores. You place the roasted marshmallow between two graham crackers along with a piece of a hersey chocalate bar (thin milk chocolate bar) the hot gooey marshmallow melts the chocolate and softens the graham cracker. Makes a delious treat that a 10 year can take pride in creating.

by the time one reaches adulthood that much sugar is revolting to most, but as a 10 year old, any sugar rush is great fun.

Erm ......have I ever mentioned about staying on topic?

We are on topic. We are talking about his icons of when he was a kid and camping. I can't think of camping without marshmallows, so this is on topic. What did you get to roast over the campfire when you where a kid?

The traditional method for making desktop icons from Xara has been to export as BMP and then rename the file to be a .ICO file. I need to make a transparent icon but BMP does not work for this. Trying the same trick by exporting as PNG and renaming does not work. Any clues? Is it possible?! Thanks.

The most wonderful icon tool I've ever see is here (http://www.axialis.com).

It has photoshop plugin to transfer images with alfa channel, and maybe it will work with Xara.

You can produce icons in seconds with this program. I suggest to try it at least.

I use a freeware Icon editor - http://icofx.ro/

Thanks Sculptex! Axialis looks good but for a one-off project IcoFx worked a treat. To get the transparency, the easiest option was to export from Xtreme as a PNG and then import that image into IcoFx. Thanks.
