xpm2wico - a free program which converts .xpm files to Windows .ico files
xpm2wico [options] infile [outfile]
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.
The program follows the usual GNU command line syntax,
with long options starting with two dashes (‘-’). A summary of options are
included below.
- -H, --help
- Show summary of options.
- -h, --usage
- Show short help.
- -V, --version
- Show version of program.
- -f, --force
- Overwrite output without asking.
- -r, --rgb-txt
- Specify a different rgb.txt from the compiled-in default.
- -v, --verbose
- Display informations while processing icons.
