I'm looking for a Free Icon editor..
-
I use Pixelformer[^] as a secondary icon editor. It can do some nice things that others simply can't.
looks interesting, thanks!

Oh well. It is just a sig :rolleyes: I love the notion of work stopping at work stations :laugh:

Any idea where could find one? Sometimes ago someone here gave a link to a cool application which could take a bunch of PNG file of appropriate size and make a .ico file out of it. Any idea where could I find such a free tool? Thanks! :-) (Yes, I googled, but withouth much satisfying results)

I have used IcoFX before, and i didn't care for it. The icon editor i use is Greefish Icon Editor Pro.

I prefer IconWorkshop by Axialis. Supports 256x256 icons and alpha channel, and the librarian is a big bonus. :-D

I will write their next hit, maybe 'A boom-boom chiky chiky boom-boom a boom-boom chiky chaka chaka cho cho.' By the way, you must beware of Betty's iron claw. They are sharp, and they hurt.

I have used Icon Workshop before, and i don't think he would be willing to spend 70 dollars on an icon editor. Especially since he said he wanted a free one.

Heh, When I saw the topic, I searched through my start menu looking for the icon app I used a few months ago when I had to redo an Icon. Opened it up. Clicked Help-About and got the website... Then I read the replies to the topic. Sure enough, http://icofx.ro/[^] was the same app. Best I found (including non-freeware) after a couple days of searching at the time.

I do something that's probably ghetto. I make the icon a .jpg or .png then just change the extension to .ico. Haven't had a problem yet.
I would be interested to know if you've ever had problems with it not showing up. For example, the thing I learned about Icons when I had to do work a while back is that there are several different resolutions (and color depths) of the image in an actual ico file. For example, my last icon had the following: 16x16x2 16x16x16 16x16x256 32x32x2 32x32x16 32x32x256 96x96x2 96x96x16 96x96x256 256x256x16 256x256x256 After playing with it, I found that almost all apps use the 32x32x16 version of the icon, however, windows will use the other sizes (vista added support for the 256x256 but VS2k5 wont compile an app that uses a 256 icon). Anyway, the result I came across was that when I didn't have a resolution that windows wanted in some of it's views, it would show the default application icon instead of mine. Ever had any problems with that?

I usually make the icon in photoshop about 40x40 px at 72 res and then when I'm done, resize to 16x16. When I save it, I use "Save for Web". For the most part I use save as png-24 with transparency without a matte. After I save it, I just change the extension name to .ico, let the computer yell at me for doing it and then upload it and it's fine.

I like it - a more specific variation on several well-known quotes: "A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools." Douglas Adams (Mostly Harmless) “Foolproof systems don't take into account the ingenuity of fools” Gene Brown There's no system foolproof enough to defeat a sufficiently great fool. Edward Teller
