Huh?!? Rcnitrous7, are you dilusional or something, man? :| What do you mean with "how does one get an icon"? Icons are freely available, I suggest you visit the Skins page and see what you like. As for the donation, you don't have to donate, but if you feel µTorrent has helped you in some way and you want to reward the author, then of course, a donation is appreciated. And before you ask, yes, I donated a fair bit, FYI.
