Personal Comments about OS/2 Icons
By Martin Iturbide
Creating Icons
On the modern days I tried to push the OS/2 icon format to the limit with the tools I was able to get. As a personal taste I had made some icons with the following properties:
- 128x128 - RGB - Icon Edit
- 40x40 - RGB - Icon Edit
I'm saving the icons on 1.2 version and not on 2.0.
Some OS/2 Icon Editor Limitations
- If an icon is bigger than 128x128 in RGB Icon Editor may allow you to save it, but when you open it back you will get a "The bitmap is to large to process" message.
OS/2 Desktop Limitation
- It seems that the OS/2 WPS desktop can not show icons bigger than 128x128 on the desktop.
