How do you get a .png file to be a icon for a folder cuz some themes come icons but the are .png files so when i go to change icon it dosnt show up

Convert the .png to another format?

when i do that and go to change icon and click on it, it says does not contain any icons.

You'll have to find some way of converting it to a .ico - that's the format for icons.

Sorry I didn't make that clear above.

I already coverted it but it still says this does not contain any icons

Wierd...

Try Pixel Toolbox, it's a freeware program and I believe it can handle icons.

edit: got name wrong

you have to convert it to the icon format using an icon editor such as microangelo

That's exactly what I was going to say. Personally I like Microangelo 98 better than the newer versions.
