Can you make a tool that allows you to rotate icons in the dmi editor?

There is one, but it only goes at 90 degree angles.

Actually, there's a little input box next to the rotate buttons that happens to have a default value of 90. Guess what it does when you change that number?

Note that rotating by degrees other than 90 can prove rather messy, particularly if your icon is very square-ish and uses a lot of space in the corners because that will end up having parts cut off sometimes.

Exactly. If you're trying to do any robust icon work, you'd need to use an external editor (PSP, Photoshop, The GIMP, etc.). The DMI Editor is good at what it does, but that's because it's not designed to heavy graphics -- it's designed for icons.
