IconCreator for ASL
Kubajzz:
Here is a minor update. There is new preview function, ReadMe file and improved interface.
If you enable preview, you'll see how the button will look in the end (it was pain to make this function work on all browsers...). It's refreshing automatically as you draw, but you can disable this function in case your browser becomes too slow. As far as I know it works alright on Firefox and Chrome, but IExplorer almost stopped responding and I had to disable auto-refresh.
I also did some interface changes, but I'm first trying to focus on the functionality. I plan to replace the default buttons and checkboxes with better ones and change more things, but that'll probably be the last thing I'll do. Next thing on my list is input function which will probably take a lot of time to implement...

Excellent tool!!!
I do use plugicon when I want to do use an image (which is most of the time) but, for those other times, I will be using your plugin.
PS... For cross browser compatability, you might try mootools, or prototype (I use both for development at work, and love them).

edit:: Tested in IE6, IE7, FireFox2, FireFox3... works fine in all except that in IE6, I the preview is a bit messed up. Other than that, it still gives the right code for ASL buttons.

After 2 more days of work I call this little program finished :)
I changed the whole interface (no ugly windows-style controls any more!), added Import function and 2 new options for the drawing tool.
Be sure to read the ReadMe file if import doesn't work. Post any questions and error reports here. I recommend not using IE6 - it doesn't fully support PNG so the interface will be really ugly and, as Sagedavis reported, preview function doesn't work correctly.
Sagedavis: thanks for the feedback. I'm using visual studio 2008, which doesn't really have good javascript support... My code is pretty messy as I've been adding new features and changing the old ones, but luckily this whole thing is quite simple... I don't have IE6 and I have no way to try it out. Could you send me a screenshot of the preview problem? I'll probably not be able to fix it, but I can try...
I'm thinking of redoing this whole thing in Silverlight using C#, that would make it cross-browser and cross-platform compatible... But if I ever do, it won't be in the next several months...

kubajzz,
I'm a programmer and our customer base uses all sorts of different browsers, so, I do a lot of testing in other browsers. If you are using windows xp, you can have multiple standalone versions of IE for testing. http://tredosoft.com/Multiple_IE
We use that at work.

Cool! Thanks, I'll try it....
