It's quite a bit of a hassle what M$ burdens upon the appdev's shoulders. The ico-format is quite special and we need to use image4j for that. Apart from that, we need to include different color depths and sizes, all multiplied out. That means that the following method will take the given Image to render 16*16@8, 32*32@8, 48*48@8, 16*16@32, 32*32@32, 48*48@32 and 256*256@32 (thats downscaled by Windows whenever something above 48*48 is needed). https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3236115/which-icon-sizes-should-my-windows-applications-icon-include
