a way to make icons for the button bar?

Post by *JimmyTheBroker »

Hi guys,

Is there a way to make icons for the button bar quickly?

So far I have only been able to find websites that will convert .bmp images into .ico types one at a time. I was hoping to make a couple of hundred of them.

Is there a way to do that from a bunch of .jpg images (simply renaming the file type to .ico doesnt seem to work.)

is there somewhere i can download a huge amount of stock .ico files?

thanks,

Get "Greenfish Icon Editor Pro" - http://greenfishsoftware.org/
It's free and powerfull software for such a task.
Use "Batch convert files..." (File menu)
You can convert hundreds of files at once.
Play with options, most important - choose "ICO" output format.
Note that there is one drawback - batchconvert doesn't retain aspect ratio, so sources files should be at least roughly square shape.
For download just type "free icon download" or similar on google or any other search engine, whichever you prefer - you'll get many websites urls.

You can also use Xnview(MP). Its cmd line part, Ncovert.exe can be used for making button or command in TC for one-click conversion.

There are many sites that provide icons and icon libraries (.icl).
Just google it.

Hi,

I havent tried the other two but Greenfish says its portable, so thats what i have so far.

I am interested in making a one-click conversion for it in total commander (not interested in actually having greenfish, just need it to do this one thing.)
