ICO Overview

ICO files are unique image files which are used in Windows Applications. ICO's (also referred to as Icons) are displayed in an Applications Title Bar, in the Task Bar and in the System Tray (If selected). Icon files are also used in Windows Explorer to identify specific applications/files.

With Zinc™ v2, you can add a custom ICO resource to your Application to completely brand your end project. ICO files must be created using an ICO designer and must conform to standard ICO specifications. The ICO sizes supported by Zinc™ v2 are:

16x16 8bit        (256 Color)

16x16 32bit        (True Color with Alpha)

32x32 8bit        (256 Color)

32x32 32bit        (True Color with Alpha)

48x48 8bit        (256 Color)

48x48 32bit        (True Color with Alpha)

With Zinc™ v2 you can provide a single resource ICO or a multi-resource ICO (an ICO which contains multiple sizes & color depths).
