    Properties

    Detailed Description

    The ico module contains properties and rules for building Microsoft Windows Icon (.ico) and Microsoft Windows Cursor (.cur) files.

    Note: This module relies on the icotool command-line tool from the icotools package, which must be installed separately and found in the PATH or an appropriate system binaries directory for your system (for example, /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin).
