The IDLE icons are from https://bugs.python.org/issue1490384
Created by Andrew Clover.
The original sources are available from Andrew's website:
2006?: Andrew Clover made the 16-, 32-, and 48-bit icons for win23.
https://www.doxdesk.com/software/py/pyicons.html
(TJR: Not sure if this originally included 256-bit image.)
Various different formats and sizes are available at this GitHub Pull Request:
https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/17473
2006: They were copied to CPython as Python application icons.
https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/43372
(TJR: I do not remember where put in CPython source tree.)
The idle.ico file was created with ImageMagick:
2014: They were copied (perhaps a bit revised) to idlelib/Icons.
https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/64605
2020: Add Clover's 256-bit image.
https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/82620
The idle.ico file used for Windows was created with ImageMagick:
$ convert idle_16.png idle_32.png idle_48.png idle_256.png idle.ico
** This needs redoing whenever files are changed.
?? Do Start, Desktop, and Taskbar use idlelib/Icons files?
Issue added Windows Store PC/icons/idlex44.png and .../idlex150.png.
https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/22817
** These should also be updated with major changes.
2022: Optimize .png images in CPython repository.
https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/21348
idle.ico (and idlex##) were not updated.
The idlexx.gif files are only needed for *nix running tcl/tk 8.5.
As of 2022, this was known true for 1 'major' Linux distribution.
(Same would be true for any non-Aqua macOS with 8.5, but must be none.)
The other .gifs are used by browsers using idlelib.tree. At least some
will not be used when tree is replaced by ttk.Treeview.
