I noticed that once I generate an executable from my code, DB gives my executable an icon that I cannot seem figure out how to change. Can any body help me figure this out?

Can I just have directions on how to do this from someone, not a post telling me to do a search. Not to be rude, but it's just easier to post a new topic and have someone tell me. After all thats why I joined the forum, to get quick easy help, and to help others(when I can).

Oh, I seem to be the only one able to answer this kind of question heheh ^_^

first, you make your icon pic (about 20x20 pix.), then you make a shortcut to your executable, then you go to properties, then change icon, then load up your image, but you need to change the things you can select, i.e. it starts off at icon files, change that to any files.

Your signature has been erased by a mod because it's larger than 600x120...

Your process does great for changing the shortcuts icon, but I need to know how to change the icon of the main executable, not the shortcut.

I found the default metallic box icon very boring so I needed to change the icon but in the properties dialog it does not list an option to change the icon for the main program.
