Generate an .ico file from a PNG image:
$ winicon g icon.png
WinIcon v0.0.1 (c) 2020-Present Lea Anthony
Generated icon file: icon.ico at sizes [256]
By default, this will generate an .ico with a single icon at 256x256. To set other sizes, use the -sizes
flag:
$ winicon g -sizes 16,32,48 icon.png
WinIcon v0.0.1 (c) 2020-Present Lea Anthony
Generated icon file: icon.ico at sizes [16 32 48]
Running winicon i icon.ico
produces the following results:
$ winicon i icon.ico
