I'm totally and completely graphically challenged which never
helps. I can't find a simple (preferably free!) drawing program
which will let me make stuff like this. What does everyone use for
these things?
When the time comes to replace the ugly icons in my app, I plan to
try NodeBox (I doubt I'll have the money to pay someone). Daniel
Jalkut got very nice results with it for his blog and for his
FlexTime app, and it looks like a really fun way to learn Python
while I'm at it:

After reading the article, I decided the same thing and downloaded a
copy of NodeBox. Like Daniel Jalkut, I think that, while NodeBox has
a way to go, it's very sophisticated and polished as-is. I've never
really used Python before -- no knowledge of syntax or the like --
but, with some fiddling, have already come up with some cool icon
ideas using it. If anyone wants some bezier path rounded rectangle
code I can provide it -- for some reason, although I'm using Leopard,
I'm having trouble getting Leopard's rounded rectangle bezier path
methods to work with it (I suspect that it was linked to an earlier
SDK, although it's equally probably that I'm making a Python-newbie
mistake of some sort).
Cheers,
Andrew
