**I dunno where to post this, so i'll put it here with the desktop threads**

Does anybody know how to make desktop icons? Like actual ico files and whatnot.

I want to make/edit a few icons i have, but I dunno how to actually save anything as ico files.

icon sushi works well

Microangelo used to be great for making icons. Although I havent used it in a long time it was great and very easy to use back in the day, Im sure its only improved since then. You can make icons and cursors and even animated cursors.

I use this simple icon editor:

You can also use http://www.irfanview.com/ and resize the image that you want and save it as an .ico file.

yeah, i gotta sit down and figure this out.

I bet these programs all work, and the stupidity is just coming from my end.

:/ Thanks for all the help, ill keep ya'll posted on the progress.

Yeah i'm dumb as fuck right now.

So what happened is.

I have this set of icons, and the icons came with .psd files

I edited the psd file to icons i wanted to, and saved the icons as .png (which i'm assuming is a file type that can be used for SOME program, i'm still experiementing)

And im failing miserably.

Create a 48x48 image in photoshop, save it as a .bmp, then rename it to .ico.

[Dogysamich]

That doesnt work. :/

[Dogysamich]

Aight.

Ricky wins.

Icon Sushi wins.

End of thread.

Thank you for all your help!
