Introduction: User interfaces are getting better and better every year. The most important part of any good graphical user interface is iconic graphics. A small image that takes only a couple dozens of pixels can sometimes have more meaning than a paragraph of text. Due to the nature of imagery perception icons create the strongest associations in human beings. New technologies and higher resolution rates allow developers to use high-detail true color alpha-blended icons when designing user interfaces. However creating vivid icons becomes an insurmountable task unless we use the right tools. AWicons is a program that allows you to create, edit and manage icons. Here are some key features of "AWicons Standard": · multilingual interface · full Windows XP icon support · loading icons/cursors (ico, cur, ani) · loading images in many formats (png, gif, bmp, jpg) · saving images in many formats (png, gif, bmp, jpg) · editing icons in executables · working with icons library (icl) · all color formats supported (mono, 16, 256, true-color, true-color with alpha) · scan drives for icons, cursors and graphics · many drawing tools (pen, line, ellipse, polygon, text, colors replace and etc.) · many drawing modifiers (anti-aliasing, multi-color gradient, transparency and etc.) · standard effects (Contrast, Brightness, Blur, Rotate, Flip and etc.) · import from large image (png, gif, jpg, bmp) with filters · import from bitmaps resources from executables (exe, dll and etc.) · additionals effects (Shadow, Hue, Saturation, 3D Shadow, Colorize, Sharpen and etc.) · rebuild Windows icon cache for update desktop and Start menu · all sizes up to 32x32 supported · all sizes up to 128x128 supported · simple, pretty and customizable interface
