new gameex exe icon

[wobbly]

today i was playing around with icons on my system and noticed that the gameex exe icon could do with an update

to the new vista 256x256 format

i was thinking you could have some contest to get a nice new icon for gameex

what do you think ?

It could do with an update alright!

I entered a competition about a year ago for a software company, so i've quickly modified an entry for GameEx.

Its a fully working icon, the encapsulated icon images ae below (icon also attached).

Tom, feel free to use it or open a competition.

Download Icon: GameEx_Blue.ico

Dock Icon:

In case anyone's wondering what software i used: Photoshop, and Axialis IconWorkshop (the image above is automatically generated..cool huh!)

Dock icon added above.

Thanks for this Alan.

I would like to update the GameEx ICON. The issue is though that it adds quite a bit of memory on to the executable size, and I want to try to keep as lean as possible. Is there anyway you could do a modified version with just the mininimum sizing and colours? Then hopefully it can be used in future versions.

Thaks again.
