I'm learning to use DEV-C++ 5.11, hoping to make a program I have in mind.
Before I go any further, I would like to change the icon for the resulting program, but it doesn't seem to work.
Here's what I did:
1 - I start a new project (File - New - Project - Windows Application) and name it "test". This creates a generic main.cpp file in the with the WndProc and WinMain functions in it.
2 - I compile and run, it creates a program (test.exe) which does nothing but works.
3 - I delete the .exe file. 3 - I copy an icon file (test.ico) in the directory of the project.
4 - I set the icon as the project icon. (Project - Project Options - General - Icon - Browse - Type - Win32 GUI)
5 - I compile and run again, the resulting program works but still shows that generic icon (in the title bar, on the task bar, in the file explorer and the Alt+Tab selector). What am I missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. I'm running on Windows 7 and the .ico file is a valid icon file that I took from another program and renamed, for the sake of the test.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
