You can also easily add text and/or icons in tools like PowerPoint and just copy-paste them into Paint.NET, which is a quick and easy method for creating your mod thumbnail. If you are creating a vehicle/equipment mod you can simply drag-and-drop the store icon into modIcon.pdn template in Paint.NET to create your icon, quickly and easily.
