I use the old one too. I was still a noob at computers when I dwnloaded this, some I created a shortcut, then had to search through the /art directory for the icon img. Now I realize that you can just copy & paste it from the start menu :P

maybe you save it in the wrong format... jpg can\'t handle transperancy


Hey Peacer, are you havin\' a nice day? or what?
If you do not flatten your image, then the background can be transparent.
JPEG saving tends to flatten it automatically--gif, and I believe jpeg2000 can have t-backs, but you are limited to what you can use in forums and for icons (due to file size).  Try the other formats, or create an image with out any background--still must be careful, jpeg saving sometimes flattens the image to create a background.
(Hint: use the ps help--not always helpful.  I vaguely remember a way to set your saves so the image isn\'t flattened, but I\'m not sure it is for jpeg.)

[See the second post on this page by Zan regarding .gif]

Ah, yes, the PS icon. I agree that it should be changed for both, PS executable and PS website.

Even the current yellow version seems to be a low-color version of this:



I found it on the old PS website.

I'm changing mine to that one, it looks much better, the other one is 256 colors I think.  :innocent:
