Hound Posted January 21, 2002 Share Posted January 21, 2002 How do I get my icons to look like this? But they look like this no matter what size they are! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye Posted January 21, 2002 Share Posted January 21, 2002 It looks to me like the first picture of icons you posted is composed of only files with a .ico extension, but the second picture has files with a .icl extension. That is the problem. A file with a .ico extension can only be composed of one icon; that's why it displays without a problem. On the other hand, a .icl file is called an icon library for the simple reason that it almost always contains more than one icon embedded in it. It can contain up to 999 icons in it. Think of it as basically a ZIP file with only icons. :p You can actually see all the files inside a .icl file by going to any shortcut and going to change the icon for it. Find the .icl file, and click on it. You can choose any of the icons in it. Actually you can go to any "Change Icon" dialog box to do this. If you want a program that can open files with a .icl extension so you can extract the icons from it, you can use Iconshop. You can find it here.

Hound Posted January 21, 2002 Author Share Posted January 21, 2002 Ok, I tried the change icon and then pointed it to the .icl and it still looks bad. I must have some setting wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
