    The Gimp will do icons, but it really is not that easy to use with Icons (I still have problems getting .ico files to export as a combination of multiple resolutions properly). Other than that, I can think of some editors that you have to pay for, but that's not meeting your criteria.

    if can create what you want in .png then you can use this website to do the conversion to .ico to use on your desktop. Have used it a number of times and had no problems with it

    Hope it helps.

    I was just going to suggest using PNG icons.. the quality can be much nicer.
