Great entries from everyone! I hope everyone's Thanksgiving was great! π€ βΊοΈ
@HenryH I know exactly what you mean. When opening a very large image, it opens to fit PDN's app space, say at 50% (with no scroll bars).
There is no other way to enable the scroll bars other than what you are doing or go to the status bar in the lower right-hand corner and hit the minus (-) sign for the view size to enable the scroll bars. An image will always open in a 'fixed' position. That is the way PDN is designed.
@BDP Yes, you are correct. There are more options in evanolds icon file-type. It also does a merged format so all sizes are in the .ico file.
I only pointed out Kyle's icon creator because it also saves at 256x256, though they are single .ico files.
evanolds: Kyle's:
Both save at 128x128, so @Klutz must make sure he/she has the latest copy of evanolds, which is here: https://github.com/foxx1337/IcoCur/releases/tag/v7.0 It's possible he/she doesn't because they are asking for 128x128.
@foxx1337 kindly recompiled it to work in later versions. It still works as does Kyle's.
Hi @Klutz The other .ico plugin @BDP is referring to can be found here:
https://github.com/KyleTTucker/Paint.net-Icon-Creator/releases/tag/IconCreator1.0
It saves up to 256x256.
The poll is now open for 'Thanksgiving!'. It will be closed on Saturday, November 25th, 2023 - 2:00 PM (EST) & 7:00 PM (UK Time). World Clock

Another simple shape that works:
@frio You are on a roll! Just played with this and I see many possibilities.
One question though; Centers Only gives me wee little dots on the background that you can hardly see; almost looks like a star field.
Anyway, thank you! π
