Form Icon at Runtime FF 3.61

[Richard Kelly]

1. Create a new project
2. On the one and only form, add an icon from the image library
3. Icon shows in top left corner during design
4. Compile and Execute
5. My custom icon does not appear

The ICO file contains a 32x32 and 16x16 sizes.

Is there something else I'm missing?

Are you able to get it to work with the icon in the attached zip file? Sometimes certain icons cause problems - like if you are trying to create an icon from a .png file.

Your icon worked fine, and yes, I did convert a png to ico using ICOFX. I'll have to start over building one from scratch methinks.

Thanks!

I can't remember what exactly the icon issue is with .png conversion... maybe alpha channels or something like that. Maybe try converting it using another program. You may get different results.

I know that PNG compression causes issues. However I use Axialis Icon Workshop and in that program compression is only offered for 256 x 256 icons. If you would like me to try creating the icon with that program, just post it.
