- Description
- The SXW file format is associated with StarOffice Writer, a word processing application that was part of the StarOffice suite developed by Sun Microsystems. The SXW file type was primarily used to save text documents that could include formatted text, images, tables, and other document elements. StarOffice served as a precursor to the more widely known OpenOffice.org suite, which later evolved into Apache OpenOffice and LibreOffice, among others.
- 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.
