IconDeveloper 2.0 is available today, and it is a complete rewrite of the popular icon creation utility. IconDeveloper can turn PNG images into icons easily, and take existing icons and make them Vista ready.

For those of you running Windows Vista, you probably have already seen programs that look odd on your desktop due to them not supporting high resolution icons (Vista will place a 48x48 icon insize of a 256x256 box on the desktop). With IconDeveloper, users can quickly edit those icons and create 256x256 icons relatively easily.

IconDeveloper has a free download available, and an enhanced version which supports more file types. It is also part of the Object Desktop suite, and will be included with Object Desktop Ultimate which debuts next month.

I wish all software developers would invest more time in creating HR icons.

I'll have to give this program a try. I'm currently in the market for a decent icon editor.

The great things about IconDeveloper is you can create your icons in something like Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro, and then import them to create the icons.

I haven't had a lot of success with paint.net and Vista 256x256 icons.
