Does anyone know of a source for icon .bmp files that would work on the i3? I'm interested particularly in the sort of stylised signs you might get on OS maps, like churches, etc. In fact, if they are smaller than the (standard?) 21 x 21, the better.

Thanks

John

PS You wouldn't reply "Why don't you make them yourself?" if you knew my graphic skills!

If you can get the image you want from somewhere it is really easy to shrink it using the paint application.

This is the way I do it, it may not be the best way but it works.

Just open the image with paint and click on "image" from the top bar, then click on "stretch/skew"

This opens up a box and just alter both the horizontal and vertical stretch (although you are actually using it to shrink the image) to a lower percentage until the image shrinks to the size you want.

You can use "attributes" to check what size you are at.

It really is easy when you have a go.

Nick.
