Im a big android fan, and the best android orb i could find on the internet is this one

Android Orb by ~Fownie on deviantART

Its really good, but i dont like how its being squished. The original android icon is a little taller. So can i ask you guys to make one for me, but only include the top half of the body and keep the proper aspect ratio. Here is the icon.

edit: if anyone can also make the orb with this (just top half), that would be awesome!

I think the orb is supposed to be .bmp format. I converted it to bmp but it came out very wrong.

But could u please only use the top half of the body, so it looks as though the android is peeking from under the screen like this

You can also create and apply start orbs using StartOrbz, created by our forum member Blizarro

The StartOrbz by Blizarro works a treat, I recommend using that.
Even scales down hi-res to prevent that clipping in post #4 & #5, as long as you use a square source image(s) to start with.

Also, just to note, you'll need write access to explorer.exe with the account you use it on else you'll get some funky error.
