Icon Creator by mwe99 on 08-15-2005 at 01:00 AM

Which is the best (high quality) Icon Creation software in your opinion? I'm looking for an icon creator and dont mind paying...

suggestions please

RE: Icon Creator by Guido on 08-15-2005 at 02:07 AM

Axialis IconWorkshop

RE: Icon Creator by zach on 08-15-2005 at 05:30 AM

I might try that too. I tried IconPackager by Stardock and when I uninstalled it because of some problems, it left every thing the same except for images it couldn't find were errors. I had to do a system restore to get it back to normal. Except now, on one account, the recycle bin icon has stayed like the IconPacker skin...

i would suggest IconDeveloper.....its high qualilty........

IconPackager is not an icon creator at all, it's just a program to change system icons... IconWorkshop (and IconDeveloper I presume) are professional icon creation tools.

How do you always use it if it's only a trial version?

I fixed the icon problem.

First, right click on your desktop click properties, goto the second tab and click the button at the bottom to change the icons

Second, the file is shell32.dll

That was probably the source material's fault, because IconWorkshop creates perfect icons :-/
