What kind of an icon do I need for a VB6 program?

[C]

I would like to make an icon for a VB6 program which will look decent
on Windows 7 as well as XP. Should it be of 48 x 48 or 64 x 64? And
does VB6 compiler accept those? Thanks.

I am planning to download GIMP to recreate the icon with anti-aliasing.

256 color icons in 16, 32, 48 pixels
32-bit color icons in 16, 32, 48, 64 pixels

these are enough for use on xp, vista and 7.

Dont select the icons at design time, load them using code below and
resource file, having icon above 64x64 size is pretty useless and it only
increases the size of application. I only use 16, 32, 48 size icon with 256
color and xp color each.

I would recommend microangleo icon editor, actually there are many good
freeware too.

use 32-bit alpha icons in vb6 apps
