Icons in Windows XP

[conkermaniac]

I want to use the Microsoft Paint icon as my next avatar, but I don't know the path to the icon. In the previous Windows versions, the Properties window displayed the path to the image, but with Windows XP everything has changed. I don't want to use PrintScreen because I don't know how to make transparencies. Thanks for your help!

C:\%WINDOWFOLDER%\system32\shell32.dll

It's %SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll

I made a couple of paint icon images for you. I was bored. I'm doing an all-nighter because I got a ----load of homework to do. I hate being a procrastinator. :mad:

Don't know whether you want new icon or old.

Hehe, damn. I really hate doing everything at once too, and often it's not even possible, I get easily distracted.

I've changed the avatar to the old MSPaint icon, as I suppose that more people have seen that one. :)

In any case, I'm damn serious about MSPaint being the best image editor around. :D

well it is easier to use than gimp, psp photoshop evaluation.

what it needs is transparency

what it needs is transparency It needs only two things IMHO: gradients and transparency.

I personally never understood GIMP. PSP and Photoshop are slow, clunky, and complicated. I really don't like them. It takes them longer to load than for me to open up Paint and edit the image.

Then MS would charge 100+ for MS Paint when it has those features, add channels and effects: Another PS. ;)
