Help With Changing Icon

Postby PerrySteven » Fri Jun 05, 2015 8:37 am

Hello, recently I have downloaded the latest version of Game Editor (1.41 Beta), and I began to design a game on it. But I want to change the icon, so I went to Config, Game Properties, and clicked on "Icon File" to choose my icon. It's "suspicious_tree.png", and it's in my Documents directory of Windows, Game Editor is copied over to my C: directory. I then typed in the name for this specific game file... But when I export the game, the icon I chose doesn't show! I have no idea why, I have tried it over and over again, and so far I am just getting the default icon.

My next question is what is this Image Editor which I found in Preferences?

Any help and answers would be much appreciated.

It has to be a .ico file.

This is just a launcher. You can select any executable and use it to edit animations faster from the animation setting pane.

Ah, I've always wondered what that does but never bothered to ask. Thanks for that.
