Hi, I have just release a 256 color icon editor on BC. It can export to the .ico format for use with any program that supports the format.

Heres a screenshot

Does this create windows icons,game icons, or both?

Well it's designed to make 32*32 images and export them to the .ico format used by Windows. You can use a program like ResHack to change the Blitz red rocket icon to one of your own using the format, I also believe some of the custom IDE's support the .ico format in this way.

Of course you can make a 32*32 bmp image with it and use it however you want. :)

My version of paintbrush can not save to the .ico format, only various .bmp formats and jpg,teff etc. which are different to the .ico format. Even Adobe Photoshop 7 does not have a native .ico export function.
If your happy using whatever you use then that's fine by me, I am not forcing you to use it ;)

hm i use win98 - i think this is the difference

but don't surprise - i can't select ico in save-dialog. just select 16color-bmp and save as *.ico file

Blitzplus has no icon in the exe to start with, but you can add one with programs such as ResHack, which supports the .ico format for icons :)
