How do you generate a specific icon?

I'm looking to know how to make an icon to use on a website. They have hearts (?) but I want to know how to make a four-leaf clover or shamrock. Any suggestions?

How do you generate a specific icon?
Try the versions of Wingdings in Character Map - Start %26gt; All Programs %26gt; Accessories %26gt; System Tools %26gt; Character Map. Copy and Paste the symbos from there. Not sure about four leaf clovers but they have ALL SORTS!!!
Reply:You can use any graphics program to create an icon. If you're trying to have it show up in the address bar, here are perfect instructions for this:

1. Create an image 16X16 pixels in size. Yes, it is really small and you can't really draw much in it. You should also restrict yourself to the standard Windows 16 colours, although I suspect that 256 colours will work fine.



If you like, you can also create a 32X32 pixel icon, which will be scaled to size for the Favorites menu and the location bar. You can even put both 16X16 and 32X32 pixel icons into the same icon file. Windows will use the former for its menus and the latter when the user opens up a folder that is set to display large icons. It's probably not really necessary to do this if you can't be bothered.

2. Save the image as an ICO file (named "favicon.ico", of course).

3. Upload it to your website. You don't need to upload one to every directory of your site if you don't want to waste space - simply put it in your root directory and IE will apparently locate it eventually. You can also upload it into your images directory, but you will need to modify your web pages if you do. See later in this article for more information on this.
