iconpackager:
does it work well?
is it easy to use?
if i download the unregistered version, how long will it work for?
will it completely fuck up my computer if i use it?
i can't tell this from the comments on cnet, so i'm hoping you guys will know

Never heard of it. What does it do? If it's an icon creator, use Microangelo instead.

I use EasyIcons & IconEasel.

Considering the program has pretty much never been updated, I don't feel guilty about having cracked it. Here are the registration files. All you have to do is extract them to the folder that the programs are stored in.

EasyIcons:

• You can package icons as ICL or DLL icon libraries, or as a multi-image icon file.
• You can read the icons from an executable file.

IconEasel:[list][*]Make your own icons, cursors, and animated cursors.[*]Edit existing icons, cursors, and animated cursors (okay, sometimes people make them so that they cannot easily be edited - the icon shows up corrupted in IconEasel)[*]Supports 16-colours and 256-colours and 24-bit for 48x48 and 32x32 icons, and 16- and 256-colours for 16x16 icons (16x16=256, so there is no need to be able to store more colour information than 256)[*]You can make an icon so that a certain icon shows when it is viewed 32x32 (desktop view) and a different one is shown when it is viewed 16x16 (windows explorer in list-view)

I used IconPackager for a while now and it is very easy to use. I wish I could get a full version though (enhanced that is) :(

Microangelo is the best.

Incidentally, mine IS better'n yours, and I have corrobaratin' evidence to prove it.

and what are you talking about, rm?

Have you all overlooked the fact that I just posted the links to have a registered version of a good program?!

sorry, nr, i forgot
thanks for the links, i'll try out the program
