Herbert1405241469 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2005 I think MS Paint in WinXP can save icons, but I don't have Windows XP so I use Pixel Toolbox  http://www.axiomx.com/PixelToolbox/  Just make a 16x16 bitmap of what you want your icon to be, and make it simple because 16x16 isn't a lot to work with. Save it and run Pixel Toolbox  Start with a 16x16, Windows Icon, 256 colors Windows 8-bit, and open the bmp you made to be your icon.  If it won't let you click the "Save As" button, just click one of the tools above the closeup photo of your bmp (which de-selects the photo) and it should work then. Save as an ico and upload it to where you pointed your link that was given above...   This program is also useful for making windows icons for shortcuts in windows (32x32) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jackpinerepublic 0 Report post Posted March 30, 2005 It seems that the web host I am using already has a favicon for my page, and I'm having a hard time puting up my own, does anyone have any suggestions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
