Hi,

I know how to create an ICO file using ImageEn. Can an ICNS file also be created. If so, how using Delphi?

Thanks

Hi Ken

ICNS is a MacOS icon file format:

I don't know of any Delphi code that supports it. It uses PNG internally, so you might be able to create your own if you can find a definition of its structure.

Thanks. The format is specified here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Icon_Image_format but I don't know how to take that any further!

Hi Ken

Unfortunately there has not been enough demand for ICNS support for us to pursue it. You might be able investigate the ICNS open source library to see if that can be made to work under Windows:

I have added my vote for it in new features. It now has 20 votes!
