Making your own icons...
Friday, January 23, 2004 by Frogboy | Discussion: WinCustomize News
Ever wonder how icon authors such as Mormegil create their cool looking icons? They typically use programs like Corel Draw (in Mormegil's case) or Photoshop or Illustrator. Once they've created their icon they then use a program to turn them into icons.
One such program: IconDeveloper which has been designed specifically to make it really easy to turn images (or batches of them) into icons and take care of all the rescaling and colorizing and all that for the user.
This article at JoeUser walks users through how easy it is now to create icons.

Right now the Free version can do any size for 14 days, but after then, true, you're limited to 32x32 as the largest format size. Still some (if not most) users does not really need their iconas to be larger.
