Some points to note about importing icons
• Only 16-color icons are supported (4-bit color .ICO format). PTC ALD reserves the 16th colour for transparency and any 16 color icon that uses the full 16 colors will lose the least used color (it becomes transparent). No warning or error message is given in this circumstance.
• An icon file may contain multiple icons at multiple colour depths: only icons at the 4-bit color depth will be available for import, however.
• Icons may also be embedded within .DLL files, .EXE files, etc. using Microsoft’s resource format. Icons of this type are not currently supported and it is therefore recommended that you extract these sort of embedded icons to a standalone .ICO file for import. There are numerous third party Resource Editor tools available for this purpose.
