- Description
- An ICO file is an image format used to store icons for Windows programs, files, and folders. It contains two bitmaps: 1) the AND bitmap - the image mask (which determines what part of the icon is transparent) and 2) the XOR bitmap - contains the icon which is mapped onto the image mask. ICO files can be modified to create custom icons.
- The FBM (Fuzzy Bitmap) file format is a type of image file format that was designed for use with the FrameBufferMan program, which primarily serves the Unix environment. FBM files are used to store bitmap images, which consist of a map of pixels that collectively form an image. This format supports various color depths and can include metadata such as the image's dimensions and color information. The FBM format is specifically tailored for handling graphics with a focus on simplicity and effectiveness in environments where direct and straightforward manipulation of pixel data is required.
