Possible, though seems unlikely. Is the source image very complex? I guess the size of the ico file might be dominated by the complexity of the source image? Or are they uncompressed images? Oh, maybe it's a colour depth thing, then? Is that possible... Now I can't remember what information is in the .ico format... > > My understanding is that, for Win7 at least, we'd really want a > 128x128 as well, possibly even a 256x256 just in case! Just checked the MS docs; I was wrong about the 128x128 size. Vista/Win7 wants the 256x256 size, and older versions (i.e. XP) only go up to 64x64, so the 128 size is probably less useful... Sounds like we'd want, as a minimum: <quote> Application icons and Control Panel items: The full set includes 16x16, 32x32, 48x48, and 256x256 (code scales between 32 and 256). The .ico file format is required. For Classic Mode, the full set is 16x16, 24x24, 32x32, 48x48 and 64x64. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa511280.aspx#size </quote> So... I guess we would want a superset of these... 16x16, 24x24, 32x32, 48x48, 64x64, 256x256 How does that sound?
