AWicons Lite

This software review will focus on AWicons, an icon creator toolbox offered by Lokas Software. With user interfaces improving each year, the most crucial part of a great graphical user interface is the use of iconic graphics. These small images, which take only a few dozen pixels, can often hold more meaning than a paragraph of text. Due to the way humans perceive images, icons create the strongest associations. Thanks to new technologies and higher resolution rates, developers can now use high-detail alpha-blended icons when designing user interfaces. However, creating vivid icons can be an insurmountable task without the right tools.

This is where AWicons comes in, offering a complete package of tools for creating graphically rich icons at an unbeatable price. The software allows users to search, create, edit, and manage icons, cursors, and other small imagery. AWicons also fully supports Windows XP true color icons, handling popular file formats such as ico, icl, cur, ani, png, gif, bmp, and jpg. The program supports all possible color modes, including mono, 16, 256, true-color, and true-color with an alpha channel.

The AWicons Lite icon management feature allows users to scan various locations for images, which is extremely convenient for graphic editing. As an icon drawing suite, AWicons offers popular drawing tools such as the pen, line, ellipse, polygon, text, and color replace, as well as drawing modifiers such as anti-aliasing, multi-color gradient, and transparency. Users can also apply various artistic effects to their icons, including contrast, blur, and many others.

AWicons comes with a comprehensive help system that includes drawing tips. Even if you have never edited icons before, the easy-to-use multilingual interface makes it easy and entertaining to learn by playing. With its humble price and amazing functionality, AWicons is a must-have software tool!
