Thank you! I like that one, pity I couldn't find a pic of the actual glass shattering though.

I like your screencaps and the way you frame your icons; but what image editing program are you using? There are ways to crop and resize without distorting the resolution of the picture.

GIMP, it's called. It's free, so not that good (all my photoshop trials ran out, and believe me, I'd downloaded every conceivable one around). I basically did the usual crop/resize/color curves/sharpness thing for all of them. I know what you mean, though--I had to get the picture cropped down to the most square-like shape possible and then resize it from there. Most of them I was able to do this too, but some were trickier.

Actually, GIMP is amazingly good for being open-source. It's a bit different from Potatochop, is all.
Here's what I do:
Use the crop tool to draw a square-ish shape on whatever part you want to iconize. Then resize the crop area (you can do that in the bottom part of the far left menu) so the height and width of the crop area are exactly the same.
At this stage it doesn't matter what the height and width actually are, they just have to be the same. You can click and drag the crop area to readjust it to whatever area you what, and also resize it to fit your needs - just don't forget to keep tweaking the height and width so they're the same. When you're done, click the center of the crop area or on the crop button and it will crop.
Then go to image > scale image and change the width to 100 and hit enter. The height will change to 100 as well. Then click on scale image. Because you originally cropped it to be a square, it will scale to be a square and preserve the resolution.

I just tried that (the picture was blurry to begin with so I won't post the result)and it worked very well. Thank you! :)
