A while ago I came across some questions about how to change icons in Newcomers Corner and Darkbasic Dicussion.

I found a little (144K) free program at http://www.hufsoft.com/download/icochanger.exe

It works well with DB classic icons, I don't know about DBPro. It won't work with programs that I wrote in C. Perhaps it only changes icons but doesn't create them from scratch. My C programs maybe had no icon to exchange.

I hope that this helps.

Hi Rob from Edinburgh, Van-B from Kirkcaldy here .

I think it is possible in DBPro - the problem is however, that the DBPro icons are layered, so the 256, 16x16, mono variations are stored as well, making it a tricky job. I still haven't managed it with ResHack (Resource hacking, imbedded file extraction etc).

A while ago I started a DBPro icon editor - like specially for DBPro apps, but Lee apparantly fixed the icon bug, so I dropped it - had it to the point where it could load the icon in and draw it - damn complicated 256 colour icons! - I had to create a colour pallete system and everything for it.
