CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
With four extremely intuitive icon-processing utilities, Microangelo Toolset works like the Swiss Army knife of icon and cursor manipulation. Its Studio and Animator components let you create and edit icons and cursors, while the Explorer and Librarian components help you find and manage icons on your system. For producing high-quality custom icons and cursors quickly, it's hard to beat this top-rated utility.
The program includes image-editing features such as effects, filters, rotation, and cropping, as well as a huge color palette. Each component performs specific functions, but it might be less intimidating to first-time users if they were bundled in one interface. The Studio/Animator and Explorer/Librarian combinations seem ripe for integration into two tools. The extensive help files, which now include specific valuable information about creating icons for Windows Vista, are quite beneficial for users who need to familiarize themselves with the program's many features.
There aren't step-by-step wizards for novices, but the addition of project templates in version 6 make it easier to create the full icon sets you need. Also lacking is an uninstall icon, so to remove it you have to go through the Control Panel. Nevertheless, would-be designers willing to learn and power users alike should appreciate the wide range of Microangelo's functionality.

"Microangelo is the big boss of icon programs."
Pros: Anyone who does a lot of work with icons needs this program set. It's a bit pricey, but well worth it. It can create, modify, tweak, store, animate, etcetera, with ease. It can create libraries or break them down any way that is desired. After many years of use it's impressiveness won't wear off.

"a paint program w/ an "Icon Creater" tag. (Read review 4 better free program)"
Pros: Alpha pix.
Cons: This program is but a paint program with an alpha setting. An alpha is a transparent color for a computer. I find that Paint.NET it a lot better, and not only that it is free. Paint.NET has a much easier layout. It also has layers to work with, making it great with anime.
