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

Microangelo 5.0 introduced 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. Microangelo includes support for True Color (more than 16 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 the Librarian module. Create and edit icons in ICO files, icon libraries, and in all types of program files. Apply color gradients, dodge and burn existing colors, and perform antialias operations against the graphics below, using the new intelligent paint modifiers in Microangelo's image editors.

Full registration costs $59.99.

Impact Software includes an added bonus with Microangelo: the complete release of its On Display icon configuration software. Reconfigure almost any Windows icon, including many that cannot be changed using Windows or other software tools, simply by right-clicking on the icon and selecting Appearance.

Microangelo 5.5 introduces complete support for Windows XP icons. Create, edit, update, replace, and organize all image formats, including the new alpha-blended images, on any platform beginning with Windows 98.
