Custom file icon

#1 Post by Grey »

Anyone know how to change the T-Engine file icon? The one on the t-engine.exe file. Currently it says "ToME" and I'd like something more generic. I've tried some googlement and found no clear information.

Sadly icons are compiled in the exe itself, taht's how windows works :/
If somebody draws a generic icon I can distribute an exe with this icon in addition to the tome one though

What size should the image be?

Perhaps there could be a "module-makers" version of the T-Engine with just the examples and example-boot included?

That small? Yikes... I thought icons could be much bigger these days... Anyway, will knock something artistic up.
