[Q] ? desktop visualizer and custom icon sizes...

[projectDz]

does anyone on here create their own custom icons to use with desktop visualizer? I'm wondering if you know the correct pixel dimensions to use for each icon size? (1x1, 2x2, etc.) The reason I ask is because I'm trying to make some icons but when it resizes them they are always pixelated, i cant get it right. I would ideally like to size the icon pngs just right so no resizing is needed at all.

post up if you know, thanks.

Not sure off the top of my head, but try finding a screenshot of somebody that has it set up, then put that image in photoshop and measure the tiles with a selection box.

My thought exactly. I know the 1x2 dimensions are 152x294...the 1x3 are 472x150. Ive had the same problem with mine for the aria phone 7 theme, you gotta play wit it an get used to how the size changes slightly when theyre done. some jus wont resize the way you want. Im trying to find out a good size for all those that dont fit well no matter how theyre resized. Ive already made my own icons(well most of them> to replace the aria wp7 icons. I think i left most of them editable....i think lol!!! BTW fireworks is super awesome for editing icons!!!

I never got an answer, but what I eventually did was used desktop visualizer in conjunction with Launcher Pro. I would use a larger size (e.g. 2x2) and resize it smaller. It turned out pretty good.
