Many icons look good on the PPC in the view where you pick them, because THEN they have a white background. But then when you add them and they show on your Today screen, they often have white pixels where the icon SHOULD be transparent, and of course that couldn't be seen on the white background...

Have you considered making your own icons? Like maybe getting them from the web and converting them?

I splurged on the Pocket PC mag special bundle so I have a lot of the products already. My favorite is the iLauncher and Pocket Breeze is quite nice to be able to have all the PIM stuff in the today screen. My only quip is that the icons I get on many PIM apps including Pocket Informant (yeah, I know they are from WebIS) and others are so ugly compared to what I had on Datebk5/6 in Palm OS. Does anyone have suggestions on where I can get some good or decent looking icons? Most of the icons (I know it's due to the 240x240 screen size) are so ragged and crude that the only reason I have them is that they still serve some purpose. I normally view in the month mode/view so that I get a glance of what happens for the days of the month at a glance and it's the icons that really make it easy.

There are some software programs that claim to make your life more productive but there is a big learning curve to get used to it. For example, I recently re-installed Phatware Calligrapher and I can't really say that it makes typing faster, because I have to correct my input all the time. But when it comes to PhoneWeaver - you spend some time setting up the profiles, and then it saves you all those little moments of time where you mute your device before going into a meeting, or set it to Vibrate when you go to sleep, and it can even start your navigation when the car profile is activated! There also are some cool smaller things to discover, like setting up PhoneWeaver shortcuts with iLauncher to toggle WiFi, for example.
