Description

Icons can be loaded from .ICO files, or from Lazarus resources. An icon resource typically contains several versions of the same image, in multiple resolutions and color depths.

When loading, the largest/most colorful image is loaded as the Bitmap property, and so can be handled as any other bitmap.

Errors

Writing to icon files is not (yet) implemented.
