Does anybody know a way to create more detailed 22x22 POIs using "paint"?

although you will lose some detail it is better than trying to start with just 22x22

I've tried this and the icon would not display on my TTG 930. Does the resolution have any effect on this? (72 pixels/inch vs 96 pixels/inch) What other reasons could prevent this icon from displaying?

I don't think the resolution matters when showing an icon, only the size of the icon could differ.
Have tried to download and save the icon as a different format in paint? (there are various kinds of .bmp formats)

Hope it helps!

I thought 44x44 was the max. Anyway, photoshop does a far better quality job when rendering smaller images than Paint.
