I wouldn't say 'found' .. I wrote alphahlp, which is based on the FreeImage library, which I also contribute to quite alot.]]> Thu, 07 Apr 2005 10:12:42 +0000 http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2061&PID=6163&title=adding-alphaicons-to-toolbar-at-runtime#6163 <![CDATA[Adding Alphaicons to Toolbar at Runtime : Yes!!!I think for each program...]]> http://forum.codejock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=2061&PID=6162&title=adding-alphaicons-to-toolbar-at-runtime#6162 Author: finn

Yes!!! I think for each program which is shareware, you found a program with the same functionallity which is free!

Thank you to both of you (SuperMario and Ark42) for your help!

Yours,

Finn!

Thank you! I looked at the alphahlp help and saw how to convert icons from one format into the other! But alphahlp is much easier than IconWorkshop from Axialis, because you can run it from the command line!

Yours,

Finn!

alphahlp can split icons as such:

alphahlp -fico -m file.ico file- .ico

This will generate a new icon for each sub-icon. For example, it might generate:
file-0-16x16-8.ico
file-1-16x16-32.ico
file-2-32x32-8.ico
file-3-32x32-32.ico
file-4-48x48-8.ico
file-5-48x48-32.ico

If you had 6 different icon pages in the multipage icon file (256 color, and 32bit with alpha channel, 3 different sizes each)

You can convert to .bmp like:

alphahlp -fico -cbmp file-1-16x16-32.ico file.bmp

Steps to extract alpha bmp images in Axlias:
1. File->Open->(Open ICO of image you wish to add)
2. Click on the 16x16 version of the ICO file that was opened.
3. File->Export->Image
4. Select "Preserve Alpha Transparency" from the dialog that pops up and select "OK"
5.  Give the new bmp a name and save it.

Then with Ark's utility....

alphahlp -fbmp -i -w16 -h16 -c0 imagelist.bmp NewImage1.bmp
alphahlp -fbmp -i -w16 -h16 -c0 imagelist.bmp NewImage2.bmp
alphahlp -fbmp -i -w16 -h16 -c0 imagelist.bmp NewImage3.bmp
