Editor's review of IconCool Icon Editor

• "IconCool Icon Editor"

• Reviewed by: CNET Staff
• Version reviewed: IconCool Icon Editor 5.86 build 90318

Whether you're a serious theme builder or a Desktop dabbler, this colorful and pleasant icon editor provides all the tools you need. IconCool Icon Editor displays images as grids of cells, each cell representing a pixel. You can preview icons in many standard sizes and color depths. Editing options include rotation, drawing, and cropping. The program displays an easy-to-use color palette at the bottom of the main window. By clicking on the palette with the left and right mouse buttons, you can keep two colors of ink handy. You can easily create and edit animated icons and view them against various background colors. As a nice bonus, the program can send buddy icons to AIM. But it does have shortcomings. It doesn't let you close an image without closing the whole program, and you can't have multiple windows open at once. Still, with its powerful feature set and elegant design, IconCool Editor will appeal to users of all levels of expertise.

  "Powerful icon editor, it works well"

  by FEATHER2009 on July 8, 2009

  Pros: Very powerful icon editor, I can use it to work my project well.
  I can run it on Windows XP and VIsta system.I never met the similar issue like other reviews talled about.
  Now, I also updated my application to the latest one. It still works well.

  Cons: BTW. I recommend that if your OS is Vista. dut to the security mechanism of Windows Vista, you can login computer as the administrator to run the program successfully

  Summary: Its a powerful icon editor, there are a lot of features in this application.
  I have updated my version to latest version IconCool Editor 5.92. It still works well
  I will continue using it.

  "Couldn't get it to work."

  by cwjr on May 20, 2009

  Pros: Never got to use it so can't say.

  Cons: Couldn't get it to work. Installed. Would not load. Crashed system. Uninstalled. Using XP Media - maybe that's why.

  Summary: Ended up not likeing it. Looked cool as advertised, but installed and uninstalled twice with no luck.
