[help] Amateur Icon Maker Question...

Can anyone help me out? I'm making an icon for an app that will be run on both XP and NT systems. The icons work fine on XP, but they won't show up at all on Windows NT (I just get a generic windows icon).

I'm using Axialis IconWorkshop 5.0. When I create the icon, I use a PNG image and create an icon for each format IconWorkshop allows (XP, 256, 16 - 128,72,64,48,32,24,16).

I would appreciate any help I can get.

Thanks.

Im not sure but i dont think NT supports alpha blending, 128x 128, anti aliasing or watever all the bells and whistles are that XP has, im not too sure im kinda new at icons also.

Yes dp, NT does not support Alpha blending in icons.

Snip - Didn't see you had 256 and 16 color icons.

Have you made sure that they are in one group? If they have been seperated into XP, 256, and 16 bit groups then NT will only look for the 256 version in the XP set.

If you can't check it look at the resouce you put them in in Reshacker and look at the icon groups folder, your icon should be the top one and should have all version listed in that group.
