Hello everyone, I have a set of icons in .PNG and .ICO format which I want to use as an IconPackage, (for personal use) how do I pack them all as an IconPackage theme ?? Also, if im using a certain IconPackage theme, can I include icons for certain applications which by default may not be there in the package, for eg. an icon for my paintshop or after effects ?? It would be really helpful, thnx in advance !! Amitsaran.
