The following Icon creation procedure was adapted from Galleon's SaveImage SUB procedure that creates 8 BPP or 32 bit bitmaps:
NOTE: QB64 can use .ico files natively for Windows executables with $EXEICON.

- Explanation: The icons created can have a full black AND mask for a solid square image when mode% is zero. If mode% is a value other than 0, the AND mask routine looks for black pixels and sets the background pixel on for transparency. Icons with dimensions that are not a multiple of 32 would require padding. In the header, ???? is later replaced with size data. If the image is 24/32 BPP, the size of the XOR image data will triple because each pixel uses 3 bytes for red, green and blue values up to 255.
- To create .CUR cursor files change the second value from 1 to 2 and set the 2 cursor click hotspot offset INTEGER values.
- Icons that are 16 X 16 or 48 X 48 require 2 padder bytes to be added at the end of each row increasing data size by 32 and 96.
