I've been using Microangelo for a couple of years and the only advantage over it that I saw was the ability to convert Apple icons to WinXP format.

I've been invited to join the beta testers group at Axialis, and I'll be pushing for layer support in IconWorkshop, along with other features I'd like to see in the editor.

mormegil....why aren't you in the group? Have they failed to invite you? A big mistake on their part if they haven't.

I am, I am just havent been to visiable. You know me SHY.

This looks pretty impressive. Just one thing, next time someone argues how our software isn't worth the price, bear in mind that programs like this cost more than all of Object Desktop combined.


Brad.... sorry, but that argument won't fly......... Axialis offers a LIFETIME of upgrades as compared to 1 year.
James Marx.... how's that for an added advantage over Microangelo?

mormegil...don't be SHY, speak up! Carlitus and I, have got your back..

The reality was this: for creating icons before, i used some Bitmap program. I created the different sizes (as png) needed with a action, saving them always on the same folder. I drag this pngs on a specific folder (ie: 'My Computer') While is opened Icon Sushi (freeware), i drag inside it the pngs, then click Create 'Multiple Icon', and the ico file as created. This is my prior way to create a icon.
With IW this step reduces to two clicks (WITH THE SAME QUALITY, boys, not as said someone in the MB). This is a new 5.01 feature.
There's a lot of iconizing and managing icons programs, but IW deserves a try.
And is very recommended for port icons by Mac platforms. Maybe converting to mac icons will be released soon, the Axialis developpers are very actives!

Hmmm, I have both progs and I can't even make an icon. Real pretty interfaces though. Really I just kind of touch up icons I feel need touching up. I have the artistic ability of a cat with a brush attached to its' tail.

Koasati - if someone wants to pay $59.95 for WindowBlinds we'll give them a lifetime of free updates too.

Well, I'm not so sure about that. I bought this icon program in January, 1998 (v4.0), but they claim they can't find me in the data base and have quit responding to my e-mails.

It is an excellent program with outstanding icl handling. The only gripe I have with it, is the inability to select irregular shapes for copying. (Iconforge does that).

I am still debating whether or not I'm going to buy it again.
