The XPM to Windows .ico converter
xpm2wico(1)
NAME
xpm2wico − a free program which converts .xpm files to Windows .ico files
SYNOPSIS
xpm2wico [options] infile [outfile]
DESCRIPTION
xpm2wico is a program that converts X Pixmaps (.xpm) files to Windows .ico files.
I have written this program primarily to help free software programmers like me to not depend on evil
proprietary programs to write Windows icons.
It can create icons with 256 colors or more from Xpm files with any type of colour scheme, both with
hex- and literal colour encodings. Support for multiple-icons file output will probably be added later.
Note that xpm2wico does not scale images (yet) and the Windows standard ICO format only allows
dimensions of 16x16, 32x32 or 64x64.
