I still don't see why rev has to be so picky about icos, though.
I think the new comaptibility with the XP look and feel requires the new 
icon format.

Hi Ben,
Finally have found a good icon editor for win xp.
"Frontbase Image to Icon." 
http://www.make-icon.com/

It will support and automatically create these formats.
16 Color 16x16
16 color 32x32
16 color 48x48
256 color 16x16
256 color 32x32
256 color 48x48
Windows XP (32-bit color) 16x16
Windows XP (32-bit color) 32x32
Windows XP (32-bit color) 48x48
without having to do anything, the icon will be compatible with rev.

Icon help

Paul, 

I've come across this problem in making windows icons too. In earlier versions 
of Rev, only 16-color icons were accepted, but now it seems they've gone 
overboard and 32-bit color icons are *required*! :(

Windows .ico files are built of many parts. These different icons will be 
displayed based on available colors or size. According to Rev, icon files must 
have these parts:

16 Color 16x16
16 color 32x32
16 color 48x48
256 color 16x16
256 color 32x32
256 color 48x48
Windows XP (32-bit color) 16x16
Windows XP (32-bit color) 32x32
Windows XP (32-bit color) 48x48

I used to use IconEdit32, which supported all of the formats except for the 
last three. Now, I guess I'll have to use another program. IconCool Editor 4.4, 
I know, will support xp icons and I'm surprised it won't work for you.

The Microsoft site

says to use a program called Gif Movie Gear. (?) It's shareware.

"Icon Sushi" supported the right files, but it was very frustrating to use. 
Axalias will probably work, you can try a trial version.

I too am very frustrated that apparently you cannot create custom icons for a 
rev app without paying for some other icon software.
