For example, some icons have one image for the 32x32 item, and then a different (but often similarly themed) image for the 16x16 since a resize of the 32x32 to 16x16 may be too lossy. If you wish to author an icon file with multiple DIFFERENT images in one file you can do this too.

PDN's resampling and quantizing (color depth changing) capabilites are utilized so that this is done in an automated fashion. Many icon files contain multiple resolution and color depth versions of the same image, so if you are authoring this type of icon, you can design the image at whatever resolution you like and then choose the resolutions/color depths to save in the file just by checking the check boxes.

The icon saver now has the following options dialog: The cursor saving functionality is the same as the previous version, other than the addition of an allowed 8-bit mode. In this version you can save 8-bit and 32-bit icons and cursors. LEAD supports loading and saving multipage files in this format.Ok, I've released the next version. The size when you write these images should be exactly 32-by-32 pixels. LEADTOOLS loads or saves transparency information using the region. This is a file format for storing Windows cursors (mouse pointers). It also supports 32 bits with alpha channel. It is a new icon format that came with Microsoft Windows Vista. This is a multipage file format with PNG compression scheme, which reduces the size and maintains the quality of an image. (Neither the width nor height can be greater than 255.) You can read and write 16-bit, single-page, or multipage files.

The size when you write these images can be no larger than 255-by-255 pixels. The background color when you read these images is always black. This is a multipage file format for storing one or more Windows icons. The library (DLL) to support these formats is the same as for BMP files. LEADTOOLS is not designed as an icon editor, but this file support lets you create a bitmap from an icon or cursor, or create an icon or cursor from a bitmap. LEADTOOLS reads and writes Windows Icon and Cursor files.
