create big icons

[Kabanga]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying unsuccessfuly to create a big icon (2x3 cm) from a JPG data.
Labview needs some 4 files to create an icon. I used a third software (iconworkshop) to create these files. It worked well and LV accept them. 
But the problem is, the only formats I see when creating an icon with LV is 32x32 and 16x16. Thus the created icon is too small!
Is there any way to make it bigger ?

Best regards

I dont think so.

Hi Kabanga,

when you start to ask for icon sizes in cm (!) I would suggest to go to lower screen resolutions...

Just joking...

When they get that big are they still an icon?  Seriosly though, EasyPicture2Icon will make them up to 48X48.  I believe that I got it from Download dot com.  Hope that helps.

Cheers!

Hi Jim,

the point is: LV only supports icons in sizes of 32×32 and 16×16 points...

Hi Gerd,

I didn't know if LV8.5 had added big icons for some reason (absurd resolution monitors? )

Hi Gerd,
I wanted simply people to have an idea of how big I want the icon to be

I think it's a pitty that LV doesn't allow doing bigger icons !

Is there really no way to do bigger icons? even with LV 8.5. I didn't try it !

with  iconworkshop you get even bigger icons.  The problem is with LV !!! why are they limiting that to 32x32 and 16x16 ?!

Hmmm... As far as I can see, LV supported from 16x16 up to 256x256 pix:

(at least LabVIEW 8.5.1)
