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:

  1. 128x128 - RGB - Icon Edit
  2. 40x40 - RGB - Icon Edit

I'm saving the icons on 1.2 version and not on 2.0.

Some OS/2 Icon Editor Limitations

  1. If an icon is bigger than 128x128 in RGB Icon Editor may allow you to save it, but when you open it back (with the same Icon Editor) you will get a "The bitmap is to large to process" message.
The bitmap is to large to process" message.

OS/2 Desktop Limitation

  1. It seems that the OS/2 WPS desktop can not show icons bigger than 128x128 on the desktop.
