icon in edge builder tool?

Postby Nic-Gun » Mar 18, 2008 @ 4:12am

hi, i know this may be a silly question, but i was wondering how can i change the icon of my application in edge builder tool?

whenever i supply an .ico file, i got an error that's something like this :

---------------- Building: Word Search Extreme - WM Pocket PC (2006) Release ----------------
Word Search Extreme.ico
Error: couldn't add icon32.ico

i tried to change the icon32.ico into Word Search Extreme.ico but the error's still there. i can only go around this by not supplying any ico file and the builder will automatically use the edge icon.

any help is appreciated here. thanks before.

Hi Nic-Gun,

The EDGELIB Builder needs icons in a different format. Supported formats include (colorkeyed) bitmaps and PNG (and all the other image formats EDGELIB supports).

We recommend creating 8-bit (indexed) bitmap icons with a colorkey for transparency. Use a magenta color for the colorkey (#FF00FF).

ok, so i made a BMP icon and give it to the builder. it worked!

after that i tried to make the setup file, but when i run the setup file and install my application to a PPC, the icon won't show up. it only showed the default application icon.

i tried using 16x16 8-bit BMP and 32x32 8-bit BMP. i also tried a 32x32 PNG-24 but they all didn't work. do i have to supply a larger image or is there anything wrong with my setup?
