Need an Icon quick? –>ConvertIcon
I have started using Prism by Mozilla Labs to enable Meebo and Google Reader as something like desktop applications. It allows you to restart Firefox, with out killing your chat or dropping you reader.
However, all the quick launch shortcuts start to look the same after a while. Then I found ConvertIcon . All you do is grab a png from your favorite app, upload and it returns an .ico.
This next step can be a little tricky just to find, but it is easy once you get the hand of it.
In Windows Explorer go to C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Prism\Profiles\PROFILE.default\webapps\*@prism.app\icons\default
* is the name of the Prism app you created.
All you need to do is replace the app.ico with your newly created .ico file from ConvertIcon.
Now you are all ready to go with a clear/clean icon on your quick launch bar for each app.
