RZ1029 Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 Stupid question, coming from someone who considers himself computer-savvy. That being said, I still don't know how to do it. I'm looking to make a .jpg I found on the web an .ico to use in a program I made in Visual Studio. I know how to add the .ico, but it ONLY accepts .ico's. I've googled it, but I get tons of vague explanations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHammonds Posted February 19, 2011 Share Posted February 19, 2011 You lookin for a freebie program or a pay-for professional program? My favorite is IconWorkshop which goes for about $25 USD (currently on sale) The long-time big-boy in this arena is Microangelo Creation which goes for about $55 USD For the freebies: IconXpert is postcardware. IcoFX Tutorial for Greenfish Icon Editor Pro There are a bunch of other freebie editors out there but many of them are old and don't support the higher resolution icons in XP, Vista and Win7. Many of the icons I created in this Oblivion Icon Set are almost wallpaper size! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverDNA Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 (edited) I get a warning of my anti Virus /anti Mailware Software (Site not save) on the IcoFX Link so be with that until LHammonds says that it is save (I have send a PM to him) Edited February 20, 2011 by SilverDNA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHammonds Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 I get no such warning and I use WOT plugin for Firefox, Comodo Internet Security and TrendMicro on another PC. I have also had no virus ever detected from the icon software that I obtained from that site and I've had my software archive thoroughly scanned by no less than 3 different scanners on a regular basis. Granted, I have not downloaded that particular program recently but I will be right now. EDIT: - Downloaded icofxsetup.exe (1,506 kb) and no complaint from Comodo - Sending to VirusTotal.com to have it scanned by 43 scanners....result is 0/43 found a virus...that means NONE of them detected anything even remotely bad...and that is RARE. So, I don't think visiting that page, then the download page and then downloading that file is anything to worry about. I even let all scripts run on that site with no problems detected.

martinthemage Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 To me it sounds like he wants to turn the jpeg into an ICO. You can convert your jpeg using FormatFactory. It's freeware. www.formatoz.com Click on 'Picture' and click on 'ICO', then find your jpg and let it convert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RZ1029 Posted February 20, 2011 Author Share Posted February 20, 2011 1) You guys rock, thanks for all the replies, and fast too. 2) I grabbed the IcoFX and that Format Factory, I'm about to try them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RZ1029 Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 I'm breaking the internet law by double-posting, but it won't let me edit my previous post. Just wanted to drop back in and say thanks, worked brilliant and now my little program looks much more official. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
