Icon File
A generic, often ambiguous extension for icon resources.
The `.icon` file extension is a generic identifier for icon images. Unlike the strictly defined `.ico` (Windows Icon), `.icon` is often used in Unix/Linux environments or by tools like ImageMagick as a catch-all alias for various icon formats (including Sun Icon, XBM, or simply renamed ICO files). It is not a standardized format itself but a convention for naming icon resources.
The internal structure of an `.icon` file depends entirely on what created it. It might be a standard Microsoft ICO container with multiple sizes and color depths. It might be a persistent X11 bitmap (XPM). Or it might be a Sun Raster file used for icons on Solaris systems. Because of this ambiguity, it requires a robust viewer that detects format by 'magic bytes' rather than extension.
In the early days of GUI desktops (SunOS, IRIX, early X11), there wasn't a single unified icon standard like Windows .ico. The `.icon` extension served as a descriptive label for files intended to be used as desktop icons, regardless of their underlying binary format.
Bitmap Image File
The classic uncompressed Windows image format.
BMP (Bitmap) is a raster graphics image file format used to store bitmap digital images, independently of the display device. It is one of the oldest image formats still in use, historically associated with the Microsoft Windows operating system.
BMP files typically store color data for each pixel in the image without any compression. This results in very large file sizes but perfect quality and extremely fast decoding. While it supports RLE compression, it is rarely used.
Introduced with Windows 3.0 in 1990. It was the standard format for Windows wallpapers and system graphics for decades.
