The Chocolate Doom icon is based on an image by Chris Metcalf (http://www.chrismetcalf.org/) which is copyrighted to him: http://www.flickr.com/photos/laffy4k/448920776/ The "foo8.ico" files are 8-bit depth only, while the "foo.ico" files contain full 32-bit versions, scaled to different sizes and with proper alpha masks (as well as the 8-bit versions). The 8-bit versions are used when setting the icon within SDL, as SDL under Windows displays full color icons in a very poor quality. The full-color versions are used in the resource files.
