I would like to know if it is possible (and how) to change the icon of the game for example some image instead of that typical pac-man figure that runs ge.

i tried before i don't think you can, what i used to do is put the game into a massive GE folder and i'd have shortcuts on my desktop
you can change the icon of shortcuts by right-clicking them and going to properties, under the shortcut tab theres a button at the bottom that says
"change icon..."

good God! thats nuts but thanks for the help anyways
is there any other way guys?

As a matter of fact you *can* change the game icon.

Config -> game properties ->
then there is this properties window:
choose an icon file (file type .ico)



it will only show the icon in the exported version.
good luck^^

right.......................the exported icon...............forgot about that
i don't export that many games so i forgot about that
i do make alot of games though, but i've only exported a few.............a few years ago......

ok here is how you do it
1. go to paint make i an icon of your liking, and save it as "myicon.ico"
2. make it the icon file in GE
3. export the game.

It wont work I think...
Use "Any To Icon" converter...

You can also use MS Paint(paint) and save the icon file as a PNG, just put .ico after the icon name
EXAMPLE:
FILENAME: myicon.ico
FILE TYPE: .png

It WILL work. I used it myself with MS Paint

you can also just use paint and save it as a 256 colour bitmap
