Win 8 Icon Editor - Version 5.42 Win 8 Icon Editor provides great opportunities for working with Windows XP and Windows 8 icons. You will be able to handle 7/8 Icons with ease. In order to make Windows 8 icons compatible with Windows XP you can save them without any compression.Win8 Icons introduce a new style of iconography that brings a higher level of detail and sophistication to Windows imagery. First, the style of Windows Metro icons is more realistic than illustrative, but not quite photorealistic. The icons are symbolic images - they should look better than photorealistic. Second, icons have a maximum size of 256 x 256, making them suitable for high-DPI displays. These high-resolution icons allow for high visual quality in list views with large icons. Finally, wherever practical, fixed document icons are replaced by thumbnails of the content, making documents easier to identify and find. Thus, Win 8 Icon Editor is a beeline to refining the visuals of your program and making it more communicative for users.
