Icon Craft 3.01: Updated all-in-one graphic design toolkit for software developers!

Icon Empire is excited to announce the release of Icon Craft 3.01 (previous name is IconEmpire). It's a versatile toolkit for creating and editing all kinds of graphics required in the software development cycle. Compatible with all Windows OS, the application allows developers to design professional-quality icons, static or animated cursors and interface elements - all in one easy to learn and use program environment.

Icon Craft 3.01 is a powerful utility for creating and editing icons and cursors in standard and custom sizes with the color depth up to 32-bit True Color. Developers can give their graphics an added gloss with numerous visual effects, ranging from semi-transparency to drop shadows. In addition to graphics design, the program allows for extracting and modifying standard icons or cursors stored in Windows executables, libraries and cursor files.

Besides icon/cursor design and management capabilities, Icon Craft enables developers to create multilayer images that can be used as interface items. A sophisticated collection of effects will help breathe life into the software design. Along with gradient and chess fill effects, developers can resort to dozens of other stylistic options including drop shadow, opacity, smooth, negative, grayscale, colorize, rotate, and more.

This program is aimed at providing developers with all the tools for software design development. At IconEmpire.com you can find such handy tools as ICL-Icon Extractor, Perfect Icon, and Icon Craft plus a big icon collection, links to icon and logo design companies, FAQ and articles on design - all in one place!
