Hi

Is there somewhere I can download BMPs from to go with homemade OV2 files?

Thanks

Just make your own.

From memory:

22 pixels square
limited colours
name exactly as the .ov2 file
save a 24 bit bmp

The free graphics progs that come with a lot of computers will do this.

Hi Simon,

Welcome to the forum !!!!!

as sgould said it's really easy to make your own using MSPaint (Standard with windows).

I don't know of any site which has .bmp's to use with POIS..........

Hi,

I've already had a go with MS Paint, but I'm not very artistic, so I was hoping to find somewhere online. I've had a search around, but can't find anywhere, so I think it's back to MS Paint.

Thanks

Hi simonf999,

I have created some icons for other forum members and may be able to do the same for you if you email or PM me with your requirements.

I can't promise anything as I'm busy trying to move house at the moment, but I'll do my best. :-)

Regards,

Bo Peep.

PC Icons files (.ico) look efective and is an easy option. Just resample and save as .bmp. Loads on your PC and Google will reveal loads more.
