Hi There

What software do you use when it comes to icons and bitmaps ?

I searched around for conversion tools (ico to bmp and vice versa) but
in the end I wrote a short C# program that does the job. I've also
found that Visual Studio can be used to edit icons.

Btw, I have found a really cool utility for extracting icons from
existing files:

http://vbaccelerator.com/home/NET/Ut...or/article.asp

I have used it on shell32.dll,netshell.dll, moricons.dll and wmploc.dll
... and got a fairly good collection of icons.

I was just wonderiing what other tools people use ?

Cheers
Bill

I only had to edit icons once and I used IconWorkShop
http://www.axialis.com/iconworkshop/ it was a really good application.

hi,

i edit my icons with paint. i create icon files using notepad and put the
graphics into them using paint. paint isnt such a good program though (i mean
overall) because it is too simple. anyway, i hope i've answered your question.

by the way, why create an icon editing program if v studio can do it? =^)

Hi Alvo

Unless I'm not use the full feature set, VS does not do coversion of
files from bitmap to icon format and vice versa. I wrote a utility
program so that I can convert files from one format to another.

Cheers
