Need a custom icon made.

[chemistry_geek]

I need a custom icon made. Can anyone do this? wdw_? I have no idea how to do it. Image size is 884K, but a lot of it is wasted white space. Would like a little grey fuzz, or shadow underneath the image. You'll understand once you see it.

I'll do it. Let's see the pic.

The file is "ZnNCTPP(DMSO).gif" and is located here:

Also on the page is a paper published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society (PDF, "ja017016p.pdf") of my project, which I was recently scooped on by a Japanese researcher. I made both compounds published in that paper, the only thing is he beat me and my advisor to the publication. And the project was essentially finished too, 1.5 years down the drain. All that work and I get no publication for it. At least it's JACS quality. I would have had three publications with my masters degree, instead I get one.

If you feel really bored, you can make icons from the colored figures in the paper. They aren't as high of quality as the GIF though. Could you make the area in between the bonds "sticks" completely transparent? I have no idea how to do that.

Thank you for the response and the effort - much appreciated.

I'll do it, but I can't right now. I have to go somewhere this morning. I'll do it when I get back.

I just put a picture of the X-ray crystal structure obtained from the compound I made. It is called "ZnNCTPP3_3.tiff" I had to remove some solvent molecules that weren't really part of the compound. This is a much better quality image than what's in the PDF paper.

There's a program called pic2icon that if you drag'n'drop a picture file onto, it creates a custom icon of that picture, with transparency, etc.

get it here (http://www.sugarcubesoftware.com/sw/index.php?pic2icon)

Thank you thedbp. I'm downloading it now. I'll give it a try.

I made the icons. Hope this is what you wanted.
