I've tried without any success in creating an icon. The nice white ones.

I was wondering if anybody with the skills, could make this for me or share any tips on creating them.

I have photoshop and tips would be great as I may need more.

I dont understand what you are asking?

Which nice white ones?

I presume he means like the little white icons in mc360  like the little white control pad next to Games   or the joystick next to Xbox Arcade.

Exactly, I've tried applying an overlay and tried changing other settings, but can't get it to look right.

Do you have to draw your own?

Is there a way for me to apply something to the above picture and make it look the same as the white icons?

Well I don't know if this is what you want but here.

Example with background.

You can resize it to your needs.

Hope it helps.

P.S  If you want it bigger contact me.

Thank you, that looks great.

Could you tell me what you did to get it to look like that?

Thanks again.

1 First I cut the image out so the background is transparent.
2 softened edges
3 gave it a slight gaussian blur
4 added a shadow
5 made it Black & White.
6 changed it to negative
7 save as PNG

If this is all jib jab to you send me the files you need done.
