Size of executable Icons
-
Different softwares have different icons for their executables. Like Windows Media Player, Zoom Player, Winamp, Comodo Firewall. I also want to give my project exes a unique icon. So what is the best size of the image/icon to be used for this purpose. I think it is 128x128. What do you say? Thanks Sukhjinder

Actually I would have several sizes. You can only have one icon file (.ico) but that file can have images of different sizes. At least I would have: 16x16 - for Explorer list or Start Menu) 32x32 - regular icon 48x48 - big Vista icons (default size for desktop) 64x64 is used also sometimes in Vista, but I am not sure it is as common.

Microsoft recommend (and i agree): Icons in the size of 16, 32, and 48. Each with 16 and 32 bit versions, that way in almost any situation people will see the icon as its meant to be, rather than squashed or stretched, or perhaps with the wrong palette. You could also have 64*64, but i don't think you'd need to go so large as 128*128
