"Nice UI and features, but clunky to use in some ways"
Version: IcoFX Portable 1.6.4
Pros
Provides many nice features without being overly busy. For the most part it is pretty intuitive to use.
Cons
Has some quirky behaviors that can make some basic things very difficult.
Summary
This is my take away after using it for a couple hours to create a couple icons.
It is often very difficult to get it to use the color you want. For one, the color of two different things in the icon can somehow become "linked", and then it become really difficult to change the color of just one. Or when trying to select a color for the next thing you want to do, the color of something already in the icon changes also. And undo can undo selecting a color, so when you undo an unwanted color change of something in the icon, you also lose the color you just selected.
Undo in general seems to not do what I want a lot. Sometimes edits are combined in a way I don't want, or undo incorrectly restores a blank icon between other restores. I thought I saw other things that didn't seem right as well.
Also I didn't see a way to make solid color circles and squares. And the keyboard accelerators for the top-level menu items are never visible, even when you press Alt. -
"Customize your desktop and folders with ease"
Version: IcoFX Portable 1.6.4
Pros
I have used this app for years and I have never seen a nag screen. Perfect freeware! Fast, easy, no pay to upgrade requests. It does exactly what it is supposed to and does it well. I turn any picture into an icon in less than a minute.
Cons
I like everything about it. I have not found anything negative to say about it.
Summary
This is the perfect tool for geeks, tweaks, or anyone else that likes to personalize their computer. Making personalized icons is a breeze. I change any picture, from almost any format into an icon in seconds or I can design my own just as easily. I wish I could show you my desktop! Freeware or free apps are notorious for disabling features, using annoying popups, or setting limiting the time to try. I have used this app for over a year and never seen anything like that. The editor is very easy to use. Open it for the first time and feel right at home. There are enough features to allow you to get the job done and do it well, but not so many that it becomes confusing. I use a lot of freeware and free to use apps and very rarely do I find one that I would actually pay for, but this one makes the cut. I rate this a ten. It's definately a must have.
