When I was creating a shortcut on the Gnome toolbar for Second Life I noticed the SL folder includes an ICO file, a Microsoft created file format for small images, but no PNG or SVG for Linux. I don't even have an easy way of converting from ICO to PNG to get a proper icon on my toolbar.

Open up the .ico file in gThumb and then save as... and just change the file extension to .png worked perfectly for me.

ICO is basically 1-bit alpha'ed BMP's. ImageMagick and Gimp should handle them.

Seems I posted this a little hastily, it turns out Gnome will read the ICO file just fine, and gThumb converted it fine as well. For some reason when I initially tried to open it in Gimp (2.2.10) it refused to open it. Thanks for the help everyone.

If you have ImageMagick installed, try 'convert foo.ico foo.png' on the command line. FWIW, XFCE will use unmodified ICO files just fine.
