cool tutorial.
else, look for Icon Generator (an AIR app) – that does the job too.

The font is all wrong.
It’s not verdana and also not the suggested myriad.

The font is called clean (not published)

To get the image to work as an icon, you need to go Save As -> PNG. Then you need an application to convert this file into an .ICO file (icon file). There are a few good free apps that can do this and are very small and easy to use.

Alternativly, you can upload your .PNG file to an online PNG>ICO conversion website. This is what I do. It saves on having so many programs installed on your computer. The website I use is: http://www.convertico.com/

Then once you have your .ICO file, all you need to do it create a shortcut of the program you wish to change the icon of. Right-Click on that icon and choose (In Vista) Properties -> Customize -> Change Icon. Then Browse to where you saved your new icon. Done!

You can also change the icon of the original .EXE but that requires a little more effort and chances are you’ll be accessing that program via a shortcut located on your Desktop/Start Menu/Quick Launch etc.

@c3c & tominated: It’s not Myriad Pro. Myriad Pro has none of the small flurishes.

E.g., lowercase “L’ and capital “I” are the exact same in Myriad Pro. A quick glance at the Flash icon shows you that’s not the case.

Joe may be right.
