It needs to be:-
22 by 22 pixels
16 colours (may be called "8 bit paletted" in your paint package)
DPI doesn't seem to matter, my speed cam ones are 72 dpi and the inbuilt "exclamation mark" one is 300dpi.
Icon file must be named identically to its associated ov2 file, created as a .bmp file and have a .bmp extension (not .bmp.bmp - which is easy to do if file extensions are hidden, and they will be if you haven't specifically turned that "useful feature" off in Windows Explorer (Tools/Folder Options/View/Un-tick "Hide extensions for known file types)) |

Are the Virgin Gyms the same as Virgin Active?
Here's an icon that I created in a few minutes:
You can use that if you like, just right click on it and do save as. You need to save it as a .BMP file.
Regards,
