Hi All,

I have an old icon (.ico) created with Delphi which is 32x32 pixels at 72 dpi. I would like to resize it to 128x128 pixels. What is the simplest way for me to do this? I am using Linux Ubuntu but I can also use most Windows software with WINE. Can someone please recommend some software which I can use to resize the .ico file ???

Best Regards,

Didn't somebody write an icon editor in LCL? I thought I saw something like that on the Lazarus Wiki once.

It is in Lazarus CCR. Tom started it, but never finished. I've been using it for my work to refurbish screenshots and doing some small improvements. Overall it is quite capable, but only half finished, so it has many bugs, the worse one being that if you try to save png files it freezes and corrupts them. Saves bmp fine, however.

I just checked and it really can read all images inside an icon. I've never tryed to resize anything with it, so no idea if it can do that.

I actually use it as an image editor, so I didn't actually take a look at it's icon capabilities until this thread came up.

The only thing I don't like in it's architecture is the use of LazRGBGraphics which doesn't work in all widgetsets and has no maintainer. With the more powerful TLazIntfImage that we have nowadays I think that TLazIntfImage could be used exclusively as the canvas and image buffer, but I wouldn't be able to make this code change in the editor unless I start using Graeme's cloning machine =)

That's the one I was thinking of...

Alternatively one can use the very capable Gimp software. I use that for everything from screenshots to icons to animated gifs.

Sorry, sold it on eBay to some other sucker. :-)
