I had one a while back. But it disappeared like everything else does. I'll try to twist my mind and remember the name.

Damn short-time memory! O_o

If you can view it, you can also 'paint' in it and save as .ico - if the size is 32x32 it wouldn't give a rats ass how u made it. Just try it.

I have an idea for your first task.. can't you do a really cool replacement-icon for the aq2 shortcut with g00d graphix?

You can always save it as .bmp and, while browsing for the icons, switch to display all files not just icon files. The bitmap will be resized automatically to 32x32 or whatever, so You don't even have to bother with that.
