How do you use your own icon?

Normally (in windows anyways) you can right click any application and select change to select a different icon.Then just link to the custom one and select apply or ok.
I am not sure about Mac or Linux distros.

I am assuming Wallace created this one for RocketDock or a similar app?

Thanks Rod. Yes, there is a similar application in Linux for using custom icons.

Yes, it's basically the same in Linux, depending on the Desktop Environment you use.

Cario Dock is one of the more popular docking apps in Linux, allowing the user to specify a custom icon for any application launcher on the dock. There is really no need for a reflection in the icon, as a reflection is normally an option generated by the docking app itself.

Due to scalability, I prefer to use svg images as custom icons.

Here's a screen shot of my desktop, with some of the icon that I made with Gimp highlighted.
