well, a lot of things happened in the meantime :-)

Now you need the windows icons (*.ico) in XP format.
That means 48*48 pixel in 32bit, so 8bit tranparency is now possible.

Actually there are 9 different separate icons in this file format:
32bit, 8bit and 4bit (or 1 bit, I am not sure) each in 48*48, 32*32  
and 16*16 pixel.

I personally use "Axialis Icon Workshop" to create these icons, but I  
am sure
there are some free icon editors available somewhere on the net.

Me :-)

Hope that helps.
