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?
This is how it looks in my workspace, - far right
Wow, I learned something new today! I had never tried making custom icons for X7, and I didn't know that it was substantially different from X8 and newer versions.
For X8 and newer versions, I start with a 300 x 300 image, then feed that to IcoFX to create an .ICO file with multiple images at different sizes. That's not as good as manually optimizing each image size, but it's usually good enough for my needs.
Sorry to distract you with a side road that would not help you on X7!
Sorry I missed the bit about X7. Just tried downsaving my 2018 to X7 and opening there, it crashes Draw...
I tried that and still didn't get the result I was after. Also note my built in editor is EXTREMELY slow in X7/Win 7. I did manage to tweak it but it took about 15 min.
