So all applications generate PNG representations when generating icons larger to 32x32.\n\nUnfortunately, when used in a WPF program on Windows XP, this often leads to crashes, because the PNG format is not supported.\n\nSo in order to use ICO files with Windows XP, the internal format must be BMP.  \nYou can still use representations up to 256x256 pixels, as long as they're also in the BMP format.\n\nICNS2ICO lets you choose the internal format for the generated ICO files.\n\n![Screenshot](http://www.xs-labs.com/uploads/image/misc/icns2ico.png)\n\n### Installation\n\nICNS2ICO uses the ImageMagick library to produce valid BMP files.  \nWhile the Cocoa framework is able to output images in such a format, it unfortunately produces files that are incompatible with Windows.  \nThat's where ImageMagick comes in handy.\n\nThe simplest to install ImageMagick is to use [HomeBrew](http://brew.sh).  \nOnce it's installed on your computer, simply type, from a terminal window:\n\n    brew install imagemagick\n    \nYou'll then be able to build and run ICNS2ICO from Xcode.\n\nLicense\n-------\n\nICNS2ICO is released under the terms of the MIT License.\n\nRepository Infos\n----------------\n\n    Owner:\t\t\tDigiDNA\n    Web:\t\t\twww.digidna.net\n    Blog:\t\t\tblog.digidna.net\n    Twitter:\t\t@DigiDNA\n    GitHub:\t\t\tgithub.com/DigiDNA\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmacmade%2Ficns2ico","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fmacmade%2Ficns2ico","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmacmade%2Ficns2ico/lists"}
