i was wondering how to make an icon for my game... like... for the final .EXE of the game, instead of the little gray square, i want a lightbulb... is that possible to do that and have it show up as a lightbulb for other ppl who play my game? i am using darkBASIC classic in case that helps at all

thanx

Why do they turn against me? Especially when i need them the most?

NO, I was mad at that too but there is no way of changing a icon except in DBPro. I tried everything to get a better icon but I couldn't find a way( unless I didn't know something).

You should've told me that before I bought DBPro, even if I would've still bought DBPro.

One time I tried resource hacker to do that very thing. It stopped my EXE from working. (It's great fun to fiddle with though!)

I never ran into that. Did you make sure your replacement icon was 32x32 with 16 colors?

Enjoy your day.

There's an Icon Maker program I know of one called IcoFX. Now to find an icon changer...

EDIT: Found a free one here:
http://http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=48504&b=25
It says it's only for programs made in FPSC, but it really works with any windows application

Did someone say 3D scanning on my desk, or was that just an AdBot?

I also found a free online icon maker. It messes up the colors a little bit(a blue-green band around everything) but you can directly download it as an icon (.ico) file. It is at: http://www.rw-designer.com/online_icon_maker.php.

The problem with the gaming community is people think that the resolution of a game defines how good it is. I am not afraid to make a game where the main character is 50x50.
