I'll have to modify PlaylistMgr slightly to allow such entry then. The other method to customise the icon is to modify the contents of the shortcut (LNK file). This will also make the shortcuts display the chosen icon in any file explorer or launcher plug-in. One simple way to customise shortcut icon is to use a shortcut manager software like <a href="http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=60823" rel="nofollow">Shortcut Creator</a>. But the shortcut icon has to come from a EXE/DLL/CPL resource file though. But it looks like iLauncher provides the most flexibility for customising icon display on the today screen. PNG and TGA support makes it simple and has transparency support. In comparison, cLaunch only supports BMP files and EXE/DLL/CPL resource files.
