making icons with GiMP.
However there are some quite good free standalone Icon editors.

I have never read up on best practices/sizes etc for creating program
icons and BMP files for buttons/images etc. Anyone got any good
references to read up further??
q1 – I have figured how to create a BMP with transparent background
for bit buttons etc so the image is not square. How do I create same
for program ICO files? All my program icons in the task bar are
square as a result.
q2 – Where does everyone else store their image files? Really they
should be considered part of the project. Only the IDE does not
store what the original filename was, so to find the image again (for
a bitbutton/program icon etc) I have to know what it was and
where. I haven’t made up mind between storing them in the
project source folder or a separate images folder...
Any Embarcadero programmers out there reading this – how about the IDE
stores the names of the files when it loads them, so it can be found
again.
