They are just .png files. I use Photoshop and it works incredibly.

I think if you use SummerBoard you can just name the icon to whatever shows on your screen (such as Chat.png, Installer.png, Settings.png, etc) and put it in your icons dir and it'll use it. Not positive though.

I haven't done my icons by dumping them into the app dir so I can't really help ya. My guess is that you have to name it the same as the icon already in the dir and overwrite it.
