There are other icon utilities but I like this one
I am not sure that photoshop can make icons 99.99% NO...Not familier with IrfanView...
Cheers...
I want to make icons that look professional...not the boxy type...you know what i mean. they have something in them that lets the desktop threw the icon in certain spot to give it a transparent look....like the pic i posted.
Yes microangelo allows transparency, infact any decent icon creating software should have transparency in them as standard.
PhotoShop is perfect in that area . I've read an article takes about creating XP Icon styles . I don't think IrfanView can makes icons .Quote:

IrfanView allows you to save it as the .ico type file. Photoshop doesn't to my knowledge. Can you tell me where i can find that info if it does?
I have Adobe PS 6 installed and it doesn't look like it can save ICO files....use Microangelo, thats an easy tool to make ICO files...;)
BTW....Or you can make a picture in Adobe PS and then import it in Microangelo...;)
I can make icons with IrfanView...I want to make icons that allow me to see threw parts of it. You know? Like AIM's icon or Internet Explorer. There has to be a certian color, like purple or maybe Hex #669966 that if you make that color the background windows will just make it see thru.
Just get microangelo, it has transparency.
Thanks
I don't have PhotoShop installed right now , but you can size the image as icon size and then save it as .bmp . Open it in IrfanView and save it as .ico .Quote:

IrfanView has the ability to resize images : click Image menu then resize . There you can resize it to icon size .
Thanks for rewriting my post...;)Quote:
