    I need an icon editor for my app. Nothing fancy, just basic icons! I was using IcoFX but it seems you have to pay for it now... Any alternatives to suggest?

    Paint.net[^] is what I have used. [edit - fixed link, click on one of the icons on from the linked site to get the dll plugin]

      I've used Microangelo for decades. The UI looks a little old now, but it works like a charm all the same... :thumbsup:

          Or even better: Why do you need icons at all? Why not just work on the command line?

              I use Microangelo, but I've heard good about this one[^]. [edit] heh. I just read the requirements for icoFX: - Intel Pentium / AMD Athlon processor or equivalent running at 2 Ghz or more - 512 MB RAM (1 GB RAM recommended) It's a fruggin icon editor! It should require a 286 and 73 bytes of ram! Can we spell "bloatware", children?

                      I use the Greenfish Icon Editor. It's free and even open source.

                        Just swear a lot; that will probably accomplish as much.

                            You're welcome - I use it as my standard image editing tool. It's simple, it does support layers, and does not have lots of extra stuff that an amateur like me does not need.

                                  The link for the plugin on the "fishofprey.com" site is broken - it just goes to a "buy this domain" page.

                                          I need an icon editor for my app. Nothing fancy, just basic icons! I was using IcoFX but it seems you have to pay for it now... Any alternatives to suggest?
