I remember when you and I downloaded Axialis IconWorkshop for the first time. Did ever end up buying that app, you philthy pirate? What are your plans for christmas again? -James    → comment by James on November 28, 2006 It turns out that we didn't fully understand ICO files at the time. We only put in a few sizes, so it didn't look the best all the time. I never bought Axialis IconWorkshop, since it comes with a full 30-day trial. I very rarely ever have to make an ico file, so the demo works for me. I do my best to no longer pirate softwares, seeing as how I make my living as one.    → comment by dustin (#1) on November 28, 2006 Hi, I'just been trying to create a reasonable ICO-Picture Container and I found a great "Freeware-Tool" which is easy to handle and creates the ICO-File for you. Check at http://greenfish.cixx6.com/ for Greenfish Icon Editor Pro. Its absolutely free and works fine. First time user just check on "Help" -> "Create an Icon". You can also test the created Icon very easy using this tool.    → comment by Dragonfly on November 28, 2011
