Creating XP like icons.

I have alot of icons that were created with the forums software that I use on my site. I want to change these icons to have the rounded XP like feel to them.

Is there a program that will automatically round this images that look like XP?

Thanks for any info you can give me!

You might be able to do it in Adobe Photoshop. Make an oval, bevel it, and overlay it.

I'll poke around in the PSP Software.

Sorry. I've never used Paint Shop Pro.

There's a prog called microangelo (notice the spelling) that makes icons and cursors (animated too!). It's easy to use and it's shareware (I think you can get it at http://www.zdnet.com ), but it might no be able to make those beveled shadings. It might be worth checking out, though.

...you'd be better off making your own.

Cool link. I never thought that there was so much envolved in making icons.
