For search.ico
It indeed doesn't work in AM.
It's strange because my pc tells me that it's 16x16 pixel; but if I open it in IrfanView for example, it's 128x128 pixel. So maybe the compression/save method is strange for this icon...

I've resized it with IrfanView, saved it again, and it works now in AM.


Blood.ico is working with AM.
But despite the fact my pc tells me it's 16x16 pixel, if I open it in IrfanView, it's 48x48 pixels. Resizing and saving it again might help to display it properly, too :)

IrfanView is free by the way. It is a useful little program; you should try to find it.

I've downloaded icons before that looked ok, like a bottle of beer, but in the game it looked like a black and white drawing.
