Default Icon Creation Question

Please Login to Remove!

THIS APP IS GREAT ! ! !

My Question is How do you Create an Icon? I understand that they are created using "Png" Can I downsize a picture on a website like "PhotoBucket" then save the file as a "png" file - Is that a picture format (like jpeg) ? Should
I use Microsoft Word to create the text or should I copy, paste and clean up
off of the website I wish to use as a shortcut?

Thanks for All of the Help!

Also what do you change the resolution to?

Png files are image files similar to gifs, but they're able to carry more color information. You'll need image editing software. You won't be able to use Microsoft Word. It looks like the images I've seen so far for this app have been in the neighborhood of 40x40 (pixels).

Can't get the icons to show up...

I used the ebay link and I click update, it connects and downloads the icon, but the icon doesn't show up.

Any ideas?

The icon will show up the first time you click on it. It will do the same thing after each subsequent reboot.

I get error on 8800 from the OTA DL:

Quote:
Error: Invalid manifest or application descriptor.

The "MIDlet-Version" attribute is not a valid version number
Thanks in advance!

Jonathan,

Tryin it on the 8703e and am having trouble getting images to load.

The short cut is fine but no image, regardless of the site I host it on.
Like the idea of having web shortcuts though.

You know what would be nice....if the shortcuts stayed after an OS upgrade. They have to be completely reloaded after an upgrade. The app and blank shortcuts obviously get backed up and restored but the data does not. (It's the same with other apps like BBWeather, though)

Having the same issue with the icons not showing up. It may be an 8300 issue
