Mac Icons to Windows ???

Phil K · Mar 28, 2003

How to ? Is there a nice little prog to do it for me ? I'll tell you why. I was after some Aircraft icons, and Helicopters in paticular, and all i could find were a handful of Mac ones. Good but no use. Tell me ! tell me !

i think windowblinds is what u might need

Phil K · Mar 28, 2003

Windowblinds ? How would that change mac icons to windows icons ? A bit baffled, mate !

The Program U want is called Axialis Icon Workshop Windowblinds has nothing to do with icons.

You just need a do a .png to .ico convertion, which can be done by lots of programs.

Irfan View of course... it also makes batch conversions to .ico
It's one of these little gems, like EAC and SmartFTP which makes you wonder what the heck those dull +buggy commrcial programs are out for.

I've got Irfanview. Great prog, but how do you make mac icons into windows icons with it ??? (And batches of 'em even more so !?)

MACOS 10.X icons are .png
Or you're talking about MACOS 7.X-9.X?

Phil K · Mar 30, 2003

Dunno. I downloaded a mac icon with a quite weird .hqx or something !

scarecrow · Mar 30, 2003

.hqx is an older MACOS binary (usually treated by binhex or stuffit) and not a graphics file format.
