what program can i create a favicon.ico


Is there any programs available to create .ico files? In Winders you use Visual Basic..or 3rd party programs.

What is available for Linux?

Thanx

You need an image file that GIMP can open (PNG, GIF, etc.). And you need the command line tool ppmtowinicon from the netpbm-tools (on SuSE you have to have installed the package netpbm).

Thanks for the link. I downloaded gimp 2 for windows... I opened a .png file and reduced it to 16x16 and did a save as .. favicon.ico and it worked.
