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 (with the same Icon Editor) 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.
Resizing a Pointer Experiment
I had tried to resize a pointer just as experiment.
- arrow.prt - Original one. VGA 32x32
- arrow2.prt - Modified with IconEdit - Added 128x128 on RGB. The icon has both VGA and 128x128.
- arrow2-5.prt - Modified with IconEdit, 128x128, but removed the VGA one.
- arrow3.prt - Modified with PMView from arrow2. Saved as OS2 icon 1.2 as Deep Color
