Description of IconWorkshop 6.62

Create state of the art icons

With IconWorkshop make your own icons for Windows, MacOS and Unix. It creates Windows icons up to 256x256 for Windows Vista and Macintosh icons up to 512x512 for Leopard (MacOS 10.5). Unix uses PNG icons. IconWorkshop creates PNG images with alpha channel in a few clicks including from existing Windows and Mac OS icons.

The new generation of icons uses variable transparency (alpha channel). This feature permits creating beautiful icons with smooth borders and shadows. You need a professional tool to create such icons. Axialis IconWorkshop has been designed with one goal in mind: "Icon Quality".

Enjoy the powerful editor which permits creating the various image formats of an icon from an original drawing without quality loss.

IconWorkshop is the only icon editor which permits creation and edition of Image Strips for toolbars. If you're a developer, don't struggle with wide bitmaps anymore! Just open them in IconWorkshop and edit each icon separately.

It can read all kinds of Image Strips in BMP and PNG. Transparency is supported in 32 BPP images through Alpha channels and in 24 BPP or less images through a fixed background color.

IconWorkshop includes a handy feature which permits to work efficiently with Visual Studio. The principle of this plug-in, as we've made it, is to create a direct bridge between the VS IDE and IconWorkshop.

The plug-in permits to easily edit in IconWorkshop an icon included in a solution. Just open the icon in the Visual Studio resource editor and launch the associated plug-in command. The icon is automatically opened in IconWorkshop and you can work on it as necessary. When you save it in IconWorkshop, the VS IDE automatically refreshes the icon document.
