Editing network icon in Fireworks

I made an icon:

scree.jpg

and, maybe it's hard to tell when it's that small, but the lines are too plain. The real icon has the lines faded and tapered at the ends. How do i do this in fireworks? Is it one of those things i need photoshop for? grr i spent another hour on this icon :slant:

the bigger icon is here

naah, not really. just a blurry osx inspired icon.

unregestered:

can't really help you with fireworks, although i would suggest you to try to mask the lines at the ends, if masking does the same thing as in photoshop. dunno.
