Creating an ICO file

By defualt, when creating an icon for Windows, only PNGs of different sizes are created. In order to combine them into a .ico file, use png2ico. Usage is completely straightforward and a project has great documentation.

User interface

The user interface is completely straightforward and plain, without any unnecessary garbage.
