PNG Icon Editor5.41 - Download

PNG Icon Editor provides great opportunities for working with Windows 8/7/Vista/XP/2000/98/95 icons. You will be able to handle Windows 8 Icons with ease. In order to make Windows 8 icons compatible with Windows XP you can save them without any compression.

Windows 8 Icons introduce a new style of iconography of Windows OS that brings a friendy level of detail and sophistication to Windows imagery. First, the style of Windows Metro-style icons is more simple than illustrative, but not quite difficult to understand. The icons are symbolic images - they should look better than photos. Second, icons have a maximum size of 512 x 512, making them suitable for high-DPI displays. These high-resolution icons allow for high visual quality in list views with large icons. Finally, wherever practical, fixed document icons are replaced by thumbnails of the content, making documents easier to identify and find. Thus, PNG Icon Editor is a beeline to refining the visuals of your program and making it more communicative for users.

A picture of a maximum size of 256 x 256 to be used as an icon, in principle, is supported by Windows XP, yet such an icon occupies 400Kb of disk space, which is far more than standard 25Kb of an XP icon. PNG Icons Org. has again found a way to cast off these shackles: PNG Icon Editor uses advanced PNG compression to save images without losses and supports semitransparent images with 8bit alpha channel. That technology reduces the size of an icon only, leaving the quality invariable.

PNG Icon Editor will help you to obtain the modern Windows 8 look. All you need is just to redesign your program's most prominent icons to use the Metro-style. From this time onwards Vista/7/8 Icons crafted by PNG Icon Editor will strongly impact users' overall impression of your programs' visual design. PNG Icon Editor will improve the usability of your software by making programs, objects, and actions easier to identify and find.
