OK That makes sense. Perhaps a simpler solution is instead of looking to SBS for the pngs, look to an external website that could be specified instead. Like a dropbox :) http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2586806/images/1.png Of course the issue with this if SDT changed icons you wouldnt get them, but I think these icons are pretty standardized anyway as far as numbering so that might be an issue.
