Editor's review of IconoMaker This application allows users to quickly create or edit Windows-supported icons; however, it lacks advanced features such as animation and sound. The well-designed interface makes the tool selection intuitive. Tool options include a color selector, text, shapes, a pencil, a brush, and flood fill. Windows XP users get the added ability to apply semitransparent areas on the icon. Color options range from monochrome to 32-bit and the icons can be created in standard or customized sizes. Image files such as ICO, ICPR, PNG, and XPM can be opened and saved, but this tool lacks the ability to recognize and import standard graphic files such as JPEG, BMP, and TIFF. This 15-day-trial program is useful for icon editing and creation, but entry-level users will need to look through the help file to use it.
