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.
Palm Pixmap
The graphics format for Palm Pilot PDAs.
The Palm Pixmap format is the native bitmap resource used by Palm OS devices (like the Palm Pilot, Tungsten, and Treo). It was designed for the constraints of early handhelds: low memory, low CPU power, and limited screen depth (initially 1-bit, then 4-bit grayscale, then 8/16-bit color).
Palm images are usually stored inside a pdb (Palm Database) container file. The pixel data itself supports multiple compression types, primarily PackBits (RLE) and ScanLine. It handles transparency via a designated transparent index color. The format is tightly coupled with the Palm OS resource manager structure.
Debuted with the original Palm Pilot in 1996. As screen technology evolved, the format was extended to support color and high density (double density) screens on devices like the Sony Clie and Palm Tungsten.
