A particularly nice way to turn on-screen graphics into icons is Steve
Fine's IconMaker v2.1. It's a DA that turns any icon-sized on-screen
bitmap into an ICON, a ICN#, or the hex codes for it. Save the resulting
icon into your Home card so you can use it in all your stacks and you're
all set.
For editing existing icons, Kent Flowers's Iedit is quite nice. It's mostly
for hacking ICN#s and masks, but it works just fine on ICONs as well.
Pick both of these up from [sumex-aim.stanford.edu]<info-mac>.
