Well I really hope this will turn into a great tutorial. But this can only be accomplished with everyone's help. I am by no means a professional designer. However I know what I like and I like spectacular icons. For instance lets take a program like Notepad++. Sure it gets great reviews and is highly downloaded on both Cnet and Sourceforge. But when it came time to design there desktop shortcut it seems the really didn't give a bloody potato. The problem is when a group of developers skip on something as simple as that it can really affect people (in a bad way) who enjoy visual stimuli. Well just a short rant. I'll put all the information I can related to designing a Favicon and will update as I get more.

Hello Paint.NET community. I was wondering if anyone knows how to create an impressive favicon using Paint.NET. I have followed one tutorial from some other site. Here's how I do it so far. I will also explain the problem I am having. 1. I resize the page to 16x16 2. I zoom the page to 3200% 3. Now when I begin to create my favicon I find I can only work with squares. How do other sites have such nice round icons with diagonal lines and such? I want to work with curves and bends not just squares. Is this possible and if so could you please tell me how.
