    Hey, So I downloaded some icons, they came in PNG format which I think only works for windows. I converted them in ICO format but they still do not work. Anyone know why this is? I was using this site to convert.

    ICO is a windows icon format,

    i use a program called pic2icon, just google it.

    this will convert a .png icon, to one that can be used as a proper icon with transparent background.

    it won't change the format of the file, it will just change the files icon to one that can be used, when you look at a files "Info" section and copy the icon.
