create executable - changing the icon for my .exe ?
Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Beginners Area/create executable - changing the icon for my .exe ?
| ||
| Is there a way, when creating an executable in bliz, to change the icon (usually a rocket) ? Thanks |
| ||
| Yes. Modify your blitz runtime .dll with this:- http://www.users.on.net/johnson/resourcehacker/ Then everytime you compile it will compile to your chosen icon. |

| thanks |
| ||
| or alternativley do the same with your compiled EXE :-) |
| ||
| I downloaded resource hacker and it's confusing. I replaced a .exe with a saved .ico and it says that it is replaced but when I go to the .exe it is still the same old rocket. Does the .ico have to be an exact size? |
| ||
| This happens to me also,... if you did it correctly, then everything is correct, but windows is not updating your icon (at least that is what happens to me) I get around it by copying the file to another location, and then the icon gets updated by windows and stays that way. |
| ||
| I tried copying it somewhere else but it stayed the same. I am probably doing it wrong. Is this what you are supposed to do: First open the .exe, then click on the icon under Icon/1 and then click on the action tab and click replace icon. Then go to open file with new icon, find your .ico icon and then click replace. I did all that. Do I have to save anything? Does the icon have to be a certain size? Did I do this right? |
| ||
| Wohoo! It worked! I am the greatest man alive! |
| ||
| I have the same resourcehacker - I have the same problem too - please could you write a quick 'idiot's guide' for me to explain how you replaced the image??? |
