ico
*.ico files are a Microsoft proprietary icon format. It supports transparency, but only square images in a specific set of resulutions. Each layer can have a different palette map or use 32-bit direct colour mapping. Icons can be standalone or embedded in executable files. They typically contain 16x16, 24x24, 32x32, 64x64 and 128x128 format all packed into one *.ico file. Sometimes one or more of the resolutions are left out. Older versions of windows do not support the higher resolutions. You can use special *.ico editors, or create a set of png files then glue them together in a icon with a special utility.

Java does not support them, even for Java webstart icons.
