Hi Karen and Sarah,
If you are creating icons for Windows, you don't want to use
IconoGrapher. It creates an ugly mask that is visible in all
transparent areas of the icon. If you are creating icons for Mac OS X
and Mac OS 9 only, IconoGrapher is a great tool. I tried contacting
the author to ask when an update will become available, but didn't
get an answer.
For Mac, there is Apple's Icon Composer. You will find this in
folder /Developer/Applications/Utilities, after installing Apple's
Developer Tools, which you can obtain for free from Apple Developer
Connection or is included with your system software.
For Windows, there is an excellent freeware tool, called IconFX,
which creates icons for Windows 98, ME, 2000, XP and Vista. Download
it from <http://icofx.xhost.ro/>.
Best regards,
Mark

Hi Karen,
Welcome to the Revolution!
I don't use Photoshop so I can't give you any advice about it's
plugin, but I use a shareware program called Iconographer (I see you
are on a Mac): <http://www.mscape.com/products/iconographer.html>.
Import your Photoshop icon or image into Iconographer, generate the
mask if needed, then "Complete Icon" to fill in all the other sizes.
If you save as a .icns file, that will work for Mac OS X applications.
Save as a .ico file for Windows.
In your stacks Standalone Settings, find the icons section for the
particular platform and select the icon file you just saved. On OS X,
when you build the app, it won' tlook as if it has the real icon. Copy
the app to another folder or zip & unzip it to make the icon appear.
Hope this helps,
Sarah
