Size of the start menu icon on the taskbar and how to I create my own

from Stardock Forums

I am just wanting to know how I can create a new start menu icon on the taskbar. I like the ones that come with it but I may want to use another graphic in the future.

I know it needs to be png but just don't know the size and how best to make it.

Take a look in C:\Program Files\Stardock\Start8\StartButtons and make your images follow the same format.

Ok it seems that they are on the avg 120 tall and about 40-50 wide. Now looking at them I see 3 different icons in there. Why is that?

 

What would be the best app to make something like that in. I was just going to resize the image I had in paint. I guess I could get gimp and make one.
