Oh, and how do you go about getting some cool AA using alpha blending?
I do it the lazy way. Basically, I start a new RGB Photoshop document with a transparent background, draw a line, and make sure it's set up to use anti-aliasing. Nothing too fancy.
The SMF logo was done by taking the small logo from the GIF that SMF comes with (see the upper-right corner of this theme) pasting it in a new image with a transparent background, setting the fill of that layer to 0% and giving it an light red inner and outer glow.
Most vector programs will automatically anti-alias the images when it exports them, so if you redraw the icons with a vector drawing program you should be all set.
Also, there really isn't a need to insert the icons into programs. Just dump an ICO file somewhere and link the shortcut to that.
