Could we have an icon embedded in the executable? A blank icon space in the application (in Windows at least) tends to get lost on the task bar / look mysterious.
I can make an .ico file if necessary - it's just the agreed choice of a suitable square-ish image (perhaps from the Flickr Structure Synth pool?). The existing splash image is too landscape-biased, unless cropped.

    I planned to create a set of icons myself for the 1.0 release of Structure Synth (in July?).

    Besides the application icon (16x16), there needs to be icons created for the executable file, and for associated EisenScript files (.es) - the latter should probably be based on a 'document' type of icon.

    For the file icons quite a range of different icons resolutions are needed to support XP (16,32,48,96,128) and the big 256x256 icons on Vista and Mac.

    If you have any suggestions for good icons, please show them!

    Sure, that's fine Mikael - I didn't know the icons are planned for v1.0.

    16x16 is a tricky size to do justice - guess it has to be a minimalist structure or a cropped shot.
    From the whole images in the SS Flickr pool, geomatrix00's colorful Menger is just about recognizable at 16x16:
