How to make my own icons.

use Microangelo software.

Thanks desiibond for help.
But is it possible without any third party utility?

Try this....

*msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms997636.aspx

Or ...

Save any image in 24 bit type with .ico extension . This would create your OWN icon

I highly recommend photoshop. Its one of the best graphics applications available, and the effects you can create with it are simply mindblowing.

Adobe Illustrator does a great job if you wanna go svg vector graphics. If you wanna go for free one go for INKSCAPE 0.46. BTW google yourself to find out more.

If you don't wanna give a try to 3rd party applications then give a chance to mspaint & save your graphics with .ico extension.

Thanks dhanusaud

icoFX is wat i use. its free to download and use. (google it and download) ohterwise, like the guy above said, do them in paint and save with .ico extension.

1. Open Paint from accessories.
2. Open any image you want to make icon.
3. goto>image menu> click attributes.
4. Type 32 for both the width and height and make sure pixels is selected under Units. Click ok.
5. Now you can also do more with your icon such as add type, color, or what you want to like.
6. After finishing open file menu and save it by choosing save as.
7. it the file type before saving use .ico extension. eg. "xyz.ico".
