I haven't seen any efforts and by that nothing else from you... You have a constant need to post your "idea" on every single forum you are. People @ WPC (NL-Stitch to be precise) even started working and wanted your help, and you just kept silent.
yes just convert them to 256x256 icon & intregrate them into imageres.dll I don't know if you did this imageres.dll but there are no icons in this dll. You need to make 16x16, 32x32 and 48x48 and then maybe 256x256 if you need it, not just 256x256.
