I also have a question about that icon, and possibly others. I just got paiint shop pro 7, (you use PSP, right? You don't have to answer if you don't.) and I was wondering what tools or how you made the kind of glowy outline of the letters? I've been expirimenting lately with the dfferent things I can do with PSP, and I have not come across anything like that in the tutorials that I have been through.

This is how I acheived the effect:
1) Use the Text tool to type your text (in my case, "day" in white). 2) Select the text with the object selector, while still in the vector layer. 3) Go to Selections>From Vector Object. This should put a selection marquee around the text. 4) Make a new layer, and move it underneath the Text layer on the Layer Palette. 5) While on that layer, go to Selections>Modify>Feather. Type in a number for the amount of feathering; the greater the number, the more spread out and feathery it will be. I think mine was about 3 or 4. 6) Use the floodfill tool to color the feathered selection in (for me, black). 7) Deselect (CTRL+D) and merge layers, if desired.
I hope that helped. ^_^; Just ask if you have any questions.

How do I do that? I'm quite new to using the program, please excuse my ignorance.
