Thank you for your PR and for taking the time to research how to correctly generate the icon! I'd like to keep the old 32x32 icon because I like the idea of preserving the OS 9 icon on at least one of the target platforms. However, adding a hi-res icon in addition to the old-school icon is a good idea. To keep the file under 300 KB, I suggest keeping just 32x32 (indexed-color original), 48x48 (your rescaled version) and 256x256. Windows 10 will downscale the 256x256 icon as needed for sizes larger than 48. |

Np, I'll squash it myself when I'm ready to merge. Thanks! |

Sure! I'll be happy to help. You can also contact me directly if you wish (email address in my profile). |

@LordNyriox, I think this PR got automatically closed when you recreated your repo before I got a chance to merge it. I can re-add the icon manually, or you can submit a new PR if you like. |
I honestly forgot about this PR until after I had already reset my forked repository. Feel free to manually rebase or merge the icon commit as you wish. 😄 |
I converted the modern Mac/Linux icons to fit the Windows icon format, replacing the icon from the ancient "Ideas From the Deep" port. In compliance with Bugdom.exe.rc#L11, all embedded size layers are without PNG compression.
Icon layers scaled using @bricelam's ImageResizer 3.1.2, then combined into an ICO file using GIMP 2.10.32.
