I am working on a 16×16 icon for the Windows XP system tray area (in the lower right corner) and I noticed that if the artist sends me a *.ico in 32-bit color:
– MS Visual Studio complains that it cannot *edit* 32-bit color (which is fine, and reassuring)
but most importantly:
– The icon looks much nicer (*) than if I use 24-bit color.
The doubt that I have is about IrfanView: it claims that the file in question is only 24-bit color.
Is there anything about 32-bit color I should know?
TIA,
-Ramon
(*) The staircase lines are gone: it looks like the extra depth info is used to render the 2D image.
