# https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICO_(file_format) # All values in ICO/CUR files are represented in little-endian byte order. # Broad file structure: # _______________________ # | ICO header | # |-----------------------| # | Icon directories 1..n | # |-----------------------| # | Image data 1..n | # |_______________________| # ICO header: # _______________________________________________________________________________ # | Offset | Size (bytes) | Purpose | # |--------|--------------|-------------------------------------------------------| # | 0 | 2 | Reserved. Must always be 0. | # |--------|--------------|-------------------------------------------------------| # | 2 | 2 | Specifies image type: 1 for icon (.ICO) image, | # | | | 2 for cursor (.CUR) image. Other values are invalid. | # |--------|--------------|-------------------------------------------------------| # | 4 | 2 | Specifies number of images in the file. | # |________|______________|_______________________________________________________| # Icon directory structure: # _______________________________________________________________________________ # | Offset | Size (bytes) | Purpose | # |--------|--------------|-------------------------------------------------------| # | 0 | 1 | Specifies image width in pixels.

Value 0 means image width is 256 | # | | | pixels. | # |--------|--------------|-------------------------------------------------------| # | 1 | 1 | Specifies image height in pixels.
