There is a particular icon library that I really like.
Now, I have downloaded the package that has the png
files inside (I know the ico
files are there, but I want the png
files).
However, about my Windows 7 computer tells me that about 1/3 of the png
files are corrupt. I usually use XnView to view the files, and it won't display the "corrupt" files. I've tried other editors and viewers and I get the same issue.
Now, the png package was originally designed for Linux to be an OS-icon-package for the entire system, so I figure the png
files were built in Linux.
So, is there a way I can "fix" the "corrupted" png
files for my Windows 7 computer? Maybe when the files were created there was some bit that was off-colour or something?
Any clues?
[edit]
I have read in this thread that the "corruption" could happen during the extraction process. I did all the extraction with 7-zip. It was a zip
containing a tar
. I will try another extractor, but I don't think it will make any difference.
