Creating Icons

[Chris Wilks]

I would like to create my own icons. How do I go about it?
Thanks

You'd need a program capable of writing files in the .ICO file format. This
is the first match I got when I looked up Icon Creator on Google, but there
are many more available:

Look for a free program from Ziff-Davis called IconEdit32. For freeware, it
is excellent. It beats most apps that are not free.

See http://www.cursorarts.com/ca_if_tips.html

Most of this would apply no matter what icon maker you use.

You can also make a bmp file - Use Paint, make it say 64x64 and then
shrink to 32x32 so as to get as smooth a pic as maybe. Save as a .bmp
and then rename the extension to .ico

A .bmp renamed to .ico is *not* an icon.
