Coffee IconEditor 1.56
contains all tools you need for creating and editing
Windows icons and managing icon libraries. The program
is friendly enough for the casual user who wants to
tweak a couple of standard .ICO files, yet
powerful enough for the professional graphic designer
who needs to create original icons and manage extensive
icon libraries.
If this is the first time you have used
Coffee IconEditor, browse
through the help topics to get an idea of what the
program can do.
The Tool palette contains drawing
and color management tools and also tools for managing
icon libraries.
When you place the mouse cursor over a Tool palette
button, the tooltip with the tool name appears, and the
Status Bar displays a short description of its
use.
You can also access most of these tools via the Coffee
IconEditor menus.

of Undo are available. Please note that some
operations, such as adding and removing subicons
or layers and all operations with icons in libraries
cannot be reversed with Undo.
Redo
The Redo operation reverts
the document to its state before the last Undo
was performed. Redo can only be performed after
an undo (or after a series of undos).
