Improper display of CTB icon
It appears that there's an issue with the way XY displays some CTB icons. As the screenshot below illustrates, the icon is an ICO file that is of exact size that is required for CTBs. However, the way it looks in the editor and the way it looks placed into a CTB differ significantly. The "X" has artefacts and looks like 2 curly brackets joined together than straight lines. Upper part of "Y" seems to be slightly twisted clock-wise and drop-shadows are hardly noticeable.

Not ideal, but done and now it shows as it should. Worth a mention in the Help manual methinksadmin wrote:Multi-icon resources are not supported. Extract the 24*24 icon as single icon resource.
