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.
We found Microangelo useful and easy to operate. 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. Would-be designers willing to learn and power users alike should appreciate the wide range of Microangelo's functionality.
Publisher's description
From Eclipsit :The icon gurus at Impact Software are at it again. Only two months ago, their Microangelo suite of icon utilities captured the 2000 Shareware Industry Awards honor for Best Graphics Program or Utility. Today, Microangelo 5.0 introduces a total solution for animated icons on the Windows desktop, providing support for the creation, installation, and desktop animation of icons in both the standard 32-pixel and large 48-pixel sizes.
Get started by improving your computer's icon display. Microangelo includes support for True Color (over sixteen million colors) throughout all of its tools. Find the icons you're looking for with Microangelo Explorer. Organize and view your favorites inside icon libraries and program files using Librarian. Create and edit icons in ICO files, icon libraries, and in all types of program files. Microangelo's image editors now provide intelligent paint modifiers used to apply color gradients, dodge and burn existing colors, and anti-alias drawing operations against the graphics below.
Impact Software includes an added bonus with Microangelo 5.0 - the complete release of their On Display icon configuration software. Reconfigure almost any Windows icon - including many that cannot be changed using Windows or other software tools - by simply right-clicking on the icon and selecting Appearance.
