AlanHo Posted May 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 I can take a bmp image OK - but I need to convert it to an icon image .ico in order to use it as a desk top icon.So far as I can see - a jpg or bmp will not do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benb Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 ICO'd for you.www3.telus.net/benb/download/win_forum.ico256, 128, 48, 32, 24, and 16 I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanHo Posted May 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 benb - cannot open your URL - all I get is a red cross in a small box.Also - I don't know what your sequence of numbers means.I have done quite a lot of googling today before finding a free programme that converts bmp files to ico files.I have now copied the WF logo and produced an icon on the desktop which is working fine.Stand down you chaps - problem solved.

benb Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 I cannot give up right now :PMy URL is an icon image. Internet Explorer cannot view icon files within the browser. Firefox can.My sequence of numbers is the size of the icon. The popular sizes of icons are 256x256128x12848x4832x3224x2416x16Those are the dimensions in pixels of the icon that I have uploaded.But now that the problem was solved... I don't know where I'm going with this.-ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason.b.c Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 I would like to know where "Benb" got that cool looking windows flag icon ball thing in his signature.. Could you tell me??? can i get it as an .ico?? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benb Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 The Windows flag icon was ripped from the Vista (either build 5342 or 5365) files. I *would* give you it as an .ico (256x256) but due to a mistaken deletion, the file is gone :no: If I do find it somewhere (possibly a backup?) I will be sure to PM you.

benb Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 Oh, then you don't need a massive one. Want just a 80x80 one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
