And ICO has the huge advantage that you can provide multiple bitmap sizes (and color depths) in a single file, avoiding the bullshit of having to specify 6 different icons for 6 different size specs. Technically, ICO is really a container more than an image format, the original ICO just contained bitmap data, since Vista you can also put PNG data in your ICO file (which MSIE recommends for 256x256 icons). A similar alternative being Apple's (somewhat more flexible) ICNS |
