From 8a1e70b463a48ca40e32a6b4f65fc75ec0bb460c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mitch Curtis Date: Mon, 8 Oct 2018 10:32:30 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Document how to create an .ico file from a set of images using ImageMagick I had to do this recently, and trying to use Visual Studio to create an .ico file using my existing images was a nightmare.
