prathapml Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 The best possible thing is to convert the image you want to an icon.Pick up any image-editing itility - even MS-Paint will do.Set up a square workspace - like 400x400 pixels or something. Draw, copy/paste, do whatever you want, and make your icon as you think it should look. Then, just open the .BMP using irfanview and resize to how big your icon should be (48x48, or 32x32, or 16.16 - depends on the purpose of your icon). IrfanView can save it after resizing as an icon - save with a .ICO extension.If this is not sufficient, just google for what you want - searching forico edit make downloadshould give thousands of freeware Icon-editing/making utilities.

Zahriki Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 I've been enjoying Axialis IconWorkshop as of late.There's a recommendation for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denney Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 Axialis IconWorkshop is awesome for creating icons. I highly recommend it.When you import an image (I generally make my icons at 500x500 in Photoshop), you select the area you want to import then hit "I", select the different sizes and formats (128x128 to 16x16, 32bit(XP)? to mono) and save it.Can't be simpler than that.

CoffeeFiend Posted October 15, 2004 Share Posted October 15, 2004 Yet another vote for Axialis IconWorkshop. I hate having to create icons for apps I code, but this makes it a lot easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XPero Posted October 19, 2004 Share Posted October 19, 2004 Axialis Icon Workshop + Adobe Photoshop CS + GIF Movie Gear. That's all you need to make good icons and avis. That's what I've used in XPize Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
