I can't find any documentation on what kind of file is required and how to actually go about generating all the sizes/formats needed. Though I have discovered it won't accept a single ICO file! Can someone give me some insight please? Thanks in advance

Okay, I've found a freeware program to generate all the required formats. Am I right though in thinking that the file required by the Standalone Application Settings is some kind of library file that contains ALL the formats in one file? I'm sure I had a program that created libraries... hmmm. Thanks again in advance!

Dear heatherbee,
I use
http://icofx.ro/. Although it works on Windows only, it is a great free programme, which created the ico file you need. Which freeware programme have you found?
For Mac, I use Apple's Icon Composer.
Best,
Mark

Fantastic, thanks heaps Mark. I just used icoFX to create my icons, and now have one groovy finished App/Game! Awesome!
I was trying IconLab but icoFX is THE way to go for sure.
Thanks again
