Win ico sizes

[Matthias Rebbe]

Richard,

under Windows i am using IconWorkshop from Axialis. http://www.axialis.com/iconworkshop/
IconWorkshop creates icons for Windows, Mac OS X, iOS and Android
The Pro (commercial) license costs 69€ at the moment (normally 99) and comes with a lifetime license.

There is also a Home version available, but that may not be used for companies.

Regards,

Matthias

It won't warn you if certain sizes are missing, but apparently the ones added since v4.6.4 are the ones used for aliases, so those show in Win7 with the generic app icon.
