| | Hi, I'm making a website (I'm in de layout design process) and I want to use ico icons in my page. I donwloaded some "xp-icons" and all worked fine. But because windows' own icons have a better quality I used ResourceHacker to take windowsicons from Shell32.dll (in system32 dir).
In thumbnailview they are shown and Windows Picture Viewer shows them also, but when I used them in my webpage, they weren't shown. They also don't work as favicons.
It is probably the format of the icon but is there some way (batch, tool,...) to convert the icons to a web-usable ICON, not a gif or png.
Not gif because it doesn't support alphatransparancy and not png because IE doesn't support png's alphatransparancy and I don't want to integrate a script which makes png usable in IE.
So? |

So can you post the page where you tried to put the icons? We need to see what you have tried....

What you could do is take a screenshot of the image with a screenshot program (I like screenhunter) and crop it to your preferences. It takes a lot of guesswork out of transforming the images. Also, Windows XP icons are available pretty much everywhere. Just search for them online and you should find a bunch of free sites that offer them for download. If you don't want that, they're really easy to recreate. And yes, please post the page. We need to check out your source and whatnot.

The only thing I did was adding an image to the page CODE <td><img src="Icons_ICO/ii_DeskTop16.ico" border="0" dir="rtl"> Home</td> This worked fine with the downloaded icons but I wanted to use the better quality of the windows icons. Strange is that their is an image on the page (I can select it) but it's empty. Also the favicon is empty when I use such a windowsicon [CODE]<link rel="shortcut icon" href="./ii_Users.ico" type="image/x-icon">[CODE]

I don't want to let it be like it was a reply on what biscuitrat said (so only the first line was mended to be quoted). Sorry.

Awesome! And no problem. The mods will probably swoop down sometime and take out the malformed post as well as edit yours. Have fun with your buttons and icons!
