X7 only allows .bmp, .ico and some other gibberish. I've tried everything to create my own icons but no matter what I do they come out looking horrible. both .ico & bmp.
.ico 16px sq, 128px sq etc no good.
bmp @ 16px sq $ 300 dpi still no good. Antialias off. doesn't matter. What am I missing?
From your original graphic that you have made for your icon, export a 300 x 300, or maybe 600 x 600, PNG file, then share it here.
Better yet, try exporting one with anti-aliasing, and one without, then share them both here.
I can send you back .ICO files to try.
I used an online converter. 8 bit png, 300dpi 16px x 16px.This is the result
Now gonna try in pixel view and build it then export as 16x16 300dpi png no anti-aliasing then convert.
No better fit.
I have a template cdr file that I use. Set up at 128 x128 px. I just export as .ico from Draw and they are immediately useable in the workspace.
IconCreator-Symbol.zip
This is how it looks in my workspace, - far right
Sorry I missed the bit about X7. Just tried downsaving my 2018 to X7 and opening there, it crashes Draw...
