Hi There,
More information can be found at the sellers web site, http://www.symbianware.com on how to make icons and masks and what size is best also.
For now what I do is to create the icon, I've found 1.1cmx1.1cm to be a good size then save it as say phone.gif.
Then save the same file again but as phone_mask.gif. Now on this file zoom in quite a lot and you will be able to pick out the indivdual pixels that make up the picture. Replace all the coloured pixels with black and that is your mask, the same size and shape as before just black.
I have heard you can do the same by altering the colours, eg. darkening it but this is how I do it.
Again the proper website shows a great example of whats required. Notice they are Gifs we use for this application.
Hope this helps,
Ian
