IconoMaker description
Create smooth multi-resolution icons for Windows with this great icon maker

IconoMaker allows you to edit icons. It supports the new icon format introduced in Windows XP (employs smooth transparency and other visual effects).

Using IconoMaker you can edit or create icons in either standard or custom sizes, with a color depth up to 32-bit True Color with 8-bit alpha channel.

Paint tools include: color replacer, color selector, spray can, pencil, brush, flood fill, text tool, line tool, rectangle, curve and ellipse. For Windows XP icons, you get to use semi-transparency.

Launching IconoMaker opens a window with a interface similar to the Windows paint program. You can set IconoMaker to open to a new icon window or nothing.

The new icon window shows a grid display with the grid matching the resolution of the icon you want to create. Along the left side are a set of drawing tools typical to most paint programs, including a color picker, eraser, pencil, air brush, paint brush and bucket (flood fill), text, rectangles, ellipses and lines.

On the right side of the grid is a color chart (256) to choose from 256 colors. The grid overlay is tabbed, allowing you to open and work on more than one icon, either different sizes of the same icon, or completely different icons. Also shown on the right is a display of how your icon(s) appears actual size. With these tools, anyone can take advantage of the grid overlay and fill in the squares to create an icon that maximizes your artistic skills.
