                           img2ico

Version 0.2.0.00229

Tool to create an icon, cursor, or animated cursor file from a directory of images.

Use your favorite image editing program to create the icons, then put them in a convenient container using the img2ico tool.

The default settings will create an icon using images found in the selected directory. The maximum size for path variables is 192 characters (via command line) The maximum size for name variables is 64 characters (including config file) The maximum size for icons is 256 by 256, and 32-bit color.

Transparency Masks are not currently supported in BMP files. The compiled EXE only works with files named "0.bmp" in the EXE directory for now. This will change when the command line is fully supported (Version 0.3.0).

Only one cursor hotspot per file is supported (this may change if there is a need for more than one cursor per file).

Mipmap generation will make all file sizes starting with the initial size down on the list below (m for mipmap):

      SIZE
   m  256x256
   m  128x128
   m  96x96
   m  64x64
   m  48x48
   m  32x32
   m  16x16
   m  8x8

   Color Depth
   m  32-bpp
   m  16-bpp
   m  8-bpp (256-color)
      4-bpp (16-color)
	  1-bpp (monochrome)

A way to control mipmap generation will be added later.

Special thanks to all those who provided data on the file formats above.
