I've been trying to figure out creating custom transparent icons. I download GIMP, but it seems more powerfull than I need (or complex). Anyone know of a free easy to use icon creator that can covert found images into transparent icons for PTB?

Hen - is posted here's some Patron wall paper. Hope this helps some. As for completing the theme I'm still hung up on creating the darn icons (looking for an idiot icon creator that will make transparent icons (I'm jaded into not releasing themes till I can make invisible icons, sigh) Sorry, but hope this helps some.

Unfortunately it is not available for free there. A ridiculous, so called, donation is required to download themes.

Mr. K

Are you aware of a freeware icon creator that will allow me to resize found images, covert to png files, and allow for transparency (and not one that converts images to .ico files). I really want to start creating themes but I don't want to settle making iconic themes compared to transparent themes iconic themes sux. any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I am sorry you feel that way MrKyoo. But many of my themes are free. Just a question for you do you get paid when you go to work or does your boss tell you that it's ridiculous to pay you and the end of the week?

You can do this with Macromedia Fireworks or Photoshop.

Hey sil thanks! I'm actually checking out the composer in PTB can that do the trick. I have Gimp, seems a bit complicated, so I imagine Photoshop would be worse. do you know if there are idiot instructions for dolts like me to make the transparent/invisible icons (lol). thanks again man.

Then only post the free themes. If you have something to sell take it to the Buy Sell Trade section.

There was no need to single me out the way you did and make a personal attack towards me and my website.

When you made the post about not posting non free themes I sent you a private message saying I would not do so going forward and also asked you questions about why the change and you chose to ignore me and then make a attack at me and my website.

We both know I am not the only one who sells themes yet for some unknown reason you lash out at my site?

Thank you about giving me heads up on the buy and sell section I did not know there was one and as I said before I wont be showcasing any themes that are not for free anymore.

Seeing that you are against anything that one must pay for I must ask can I put a banner up on this site for free? Or would that be ridiculous?

I can't imagine you running this site without making some sort of profit?? Or having people work for you and not paying them.

Just to shed more light on this..

Steve over at Blackberry Cool interviewed my a couple of months back and I made sure to make mention of those who helped with the success of my site.

Anything else to add?

I would like to give a big thank you to Blackberry Cool for covering my website and also big thank you to Blackberryforums.com for providing a place for themes to be displayed. Last but not least I would like to thank Steve aka srl7741 for all of his help and support he is a big part of the Blackberry community.
