forgot about GIMP, might try that. I found something called 'DrawIt',
the free version of which is crippled to 5 layers but .. not really an
issue for what I'm doing. What I'm creating here are some very small
button icons and a few indicators, 30x30 pixels, small, with very
simple shapes, that size things have to be pretty clear, not much room
for fancy stuff. Gradient fill would be nice but I may just have to
live without it.
I believe png are really what I'm trying to make here, they seem to be
recommended.
Thanks for the tip.

I need a make a few icons and other graphics for my app, simple

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?_______________________________________________
There is Gimp. It can do whatever you need, but you may have to
learn how to use it (this is not the most intuitive software I know).
If you need simple graphics, you can also use the free vetor graphic
editor: inkscape.
What do you want to do with your images ? icns are mainly used for
Desktop Icon, for other application images (toolbar, button, ..),
you can use tiff that is far more versatile.
If you want to create icns, just create your images in a standard
format (tiff, png, etc…) and then use Icon Composer (from the Xcode
tools) to create the icns version.
