When it comes to developing software the icon for the executable is usually not something handled by me and not something over which I place a great amount of concern. But earlier today I was working on a Windows Mobile program that I wanted to have a polished look, down to the program icon. I designed my icon work in Photoshop and was trying to import it into the Visual Studio icon editor. I had no trouble doing this with the 24-bit true-color version of the icons, but when I was adding the paletted versions I ran into problems. I evaluated some free icon editors and came across one that I absolutly love, IcoFX.
In short IcoFX is free and very capable. It will save icons in both Windows and OS X format. It takes care of resizing the icon images for you. If you are ever in need of a better icon editor you should check this out.
