Icons! How to make em?

Postby MrScience101 » Wed May 16, 2007 4:26 pm

Lol, trying to get an icon for my almost completed game. I select game properties and then specify a 16X16 picture as the icon. However, when I export it, I still have the happy pacman as my icon. Someone with more brains than I will ever have please help?

Thanks!

Right now (10/14/2009) I'm working on some C++ projects, but I might be able to help if you have some Game Editor questions. :)

Nice! Well that about wraps it up. Now I just gotta make a demo version of my game and it should be finished! I ended up using icoFX since it was free.

I gotta learn to qa things before I go saying they worked. The icon works under windows XP, and even the exported pocket pc file under windows xp has the correct icon. But when I copy it over to my pocket pc, the pac man get's his revenge! In other words, the pac man is still there, how do I change the icon for a pocket pc file in game editor? Or do I just need to get a pocket pc icon editor?
