Default 9700 help

what resolution should I use for icons for my 9700? I've been using 80x80 but it came out looking pretty blurry.

thanks

it's not so much blurry, it's more choppy looking.

80x is the correct size for the 9700... are you starting with an image that is native 80x and good quality? or are you increasing the size?

I use 70x70, 73x73 or possibly 68x68, depending on the icon, and put them on a transparent 80x80 background image. If you use a batch converter, this becomes a simple procedure. I use Able Batch Converter, and it takes about 2 minutes to convert all of the icons properly.

and one more question; is there any way to make the process of adding the icons to theme builder easier or is the only way click and drag?

Once they are renamed correctly, place them in a folder. Right click on one of the icons in theme builder, there should be an option to change all. Select that folder, and you should be done. If you take the time to properly name them, this will work flawlessly.
