I LOVE THIS, IT IS AMAZING. I was looking for an easy to use aim icon creator and then I found this website, it rocks.
I initially had a little trouble saving it :(, but i did it and was SO happy with the icon!
This thing is the greatest icon maker for aim, so many people need it and I highly recommend it! thanks for making it available for us.

I made my icon, but I have a Mac. Will how can I get it to be my icon. Help mehhh.

Im having the same problem
omg me too, idk why its doing tht
still fiqurinq out how tOo do an icon !!
PEOPLE!! Chill out.
Okay if your aim buddy icon has already been made, then go to your aim and click on edit-settings.
Then go to expressions and in the right hand corner there will be a picutre of your current icon, under that click browse.
Now it will bring up a box with all your files, find the aim buddy icon that you made and saved and click it and then click save.
It will then change your icon.
Thaaanks :]
You actually helped.
yea how do u put it on aim expressions or something after u save it?
Go on AIM the program, then go to edit and at the bottom click settings NOT EXPRESSIONS!!! Click on the tab that says "EXPRESSIONS" You will see a pic of your icon... Click browse which is under your icon pic. It will show you a window of all your files... next, find your icon that you made & saved on your files... Click on the picture of it and then hit save... TADA!
