IconDeveloper: Turn PNG directly into icons from Explroer

Hooraah!!!

this program Bites FUbarded my icons when installed and Cheaged EVER i con i had to there defult Red ugly Icon

Make sure you have the latest version.

How do you find it?? I do not see it in Stardock Central...
Thanks for your help??? (is it part of the Icon Packager??)

It is part of Object Desktop. This feature will save me alot of time I tell you what.

I used it tonight to update some of Ed Deans icons. He only made 32x32 (and below) versions of most of his icons. With the smart scaling stuff, I can make decent large versions of them. There's a ton of different scaling options.

Thats very nice about those scaling options. Especially if theres many algorithms to choose from

can't find it..

greg echo.. check the box for "show pre-release versions of software".. its still a beta i think, so it doesnt show up in the regular list. also be sure to click on "more" at the bottom of the list to show ALL programs available.

this thing is sweet..! the first thing i tried to do was make an icon port of jairo's whitemate png's.. in a few clicks i was able to port out a transparent icon. unfortionately, the immediate icon result wasn't any better then the ones i tried to make earlier from a trial version of another icon program there are just certain details, like the fine edges, in his graphics that are lost when put into icon. however - since the process using this new program was INSTANTANIOUS, i hope someone will take the time to use it to refine whitemate for use in iconpackager

way to go crew.. a great program. it will continue to be available from stardock, ya? any decent icon program out there now is 20-50$

ah ha

So this along with Skin Studio and Icon Packager you can make some decant icon for XP

Farely decent... farely decent indeed.

Cant get it to work,get the popup saying icondeveloper etc etc , but no ico file is generated from png.When starting the app,same thing,just the popup,then nothing.doesnt show up on taskmanager is it only for XP ?

How do I find this ? where is the Link

only for XP guy.

There should be a refined version - not breaking your icons images in explorer in a day or two.

Marten Langbraten - try switching (Alt+Tab) to another program then (Alt+Tab) back. if there was a modal dialog that popped down below the main window it should show up when you switch back.

mverzella - you chould try some fine tuning by selecting/experimenting with dithering and resampling options while creating subimages. I'm sure you can create a perfect XP icon with the recent release. However if you're on another OS (not Windows XP) none of those XP icons will ever look perfect for you.

Last but not least it's not only for XP, however there may still be some problems when you try to recolor an IconPackage theme with lots of icons in it.

GOT it to work,had to delete the icondeveloper folder , then a fresh install

thanks skin, i'll check it out. if i get something that works i'll get permission from jiaro to show off icon versions of whitemate
