    Which are Edit, Delete, Book From & Book To Respectively.

    What kinda thing should I be doing for "View" which would match these?

    EDIT: You reckon it would be good to use somethign like:

    sorry to interrupt here...

    look at the pngs that I made. Why do you have true transparent backround... while mine are light blue ??

    damn!

    what tool do you use to make png's ?
    I'd really like my png's to be transparent when viewed in IE.

    Use an image of a burst eyeball on a stick, oozing Vitrious Humor fluid and sinew. Animate it for the full effect.

    I use PSP5 to make them, as for the color I've used as transparent three of them use white, one uses Black & the other uses Green.

    could you try creating transparent png of one of the above files?

    as you can see mine have some light background colour to it.

    if you have the time, I'd appritiate it

    Here you go, I didn't do the refresh one because when i opened it it had a white line at the top and a black background at the bottom, wasn't sure what to do with the white bit, if it was meant to be there or meant to be transparent too.

    Ar, I see why now, your PNGs have a alpha channel not just a transparent color. You can add an Alpha channel in PSP5 but I don't think its new enough to know how to save PNGs with it.

    How about a Copy icon now? Was thinking maybe two pieces of paper with an arrow from one to another, seems rather boring really though. Any ideas?
