I was wondering if there is a way to create an icon for the macros that I use daily?

You can choose the icon you want. You can make them with any graphic editor you choose. Just save as a bitmap and go and edit the file to have the .ICO suffix name, keep in mind the size of the icon I belive you need it to be 16 x 16 pixels. You can use Irfanview to scale-save or convert any picture to an icon

You can try this program for making icons…

There are several free “icon” programs out there including IcoFX (http://icofx.ro/index.html)
I’m not sure if these will work for making SW macro icons as I have never done this.
Another option is to check out AngelSix’s SWTools program here: http://angelsix.com/2008/10/21/swtools/
Hope this helps!
