Some people are really helpful, arent they?

Just go into your DB Editor and on the bottom right you have a list of resources for your DB project. One of them is an icon button. Try it out.

Pinkvenom they're not added properly within DBP ... if you add them they generally don't attach unless they are 16x16/32x32 4-Bit 16Colours

I'd go out on a limb and say there is a major bug with this and not one that is likely to be fixxed anytime soon, and i'm not sure if its with the compiler or the Editor - although when i was using my own editor for a while i don't remember them giving me any trouble.

if i were you i'd just leave it for a while or move all of the standard icons out of the compiler directory and replace with the icon you want
Or a Resource Editor, but i dunno which would be good

I pride myself that i don't kill...
well not without a good reason

personally i just use windows to do it...
right-click -> Properties -> Advanced Information -> Change Icon

then after you've linked it distribute
Remember once you've hacked in an icon you usually have to also put it within the package you release, because it doesn't really store the icon just makes the link.

If you just use Resource Hacker it WILL store the icon inside the exe and you don't have to include it in the package.

No I don't think so... I have used this application for years and updated it once in a while. All the versions I have used worked like they should.
The project is unfortunately uncontinued so I can't give you their page url... But if you want I can upload the one I have to my page.

IconForge is another good app for editing icons or creating new ones and wrapping them to your app

"I'd go out on a limb and say there is a major bug with this"

hmm yeah me too, I've given up trying to do it from within DBPro - I use Install shield but many progs will do it

No.. At least not on my computer and my friends computer...

It should show a white page with my logo at the top (the same as the one that used to be in my signature). Underneath my logo you should see two links... (And, yes I did use the link you posted, winch, rather than typing in the address)

The first to ResHack. The other is a sponser link to www.web1000.com where my web page is.... They don't support direct linking so i can't give you a direct link (thats also why my logo is not in my signature anymore...).

BUT try this link and see what you get:

By the way, trial version can be easily hacked using "Resource Hacker". DBS should make something with it.

I'd like to change the world, but God doesn't want to give me sources!
