- 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 HBM file type is associated with the Commodore 64 (C64), a popular 8-bit home computer from the 1980s. Specifically, HBM files are used to store high-resolution bitmap images for the C64. These files allow for the display of detailed graphics and images on the C64's hardware, leveraging its graphical capabilities. The format is utilized by artists and programmers who create or modify graphics for C64 applications, games, or demos.
