Custom icon when compiling

[tk1]

Hello,

I know I saw somewhere instructions on using a custom icon when you compile your script, but the only one I can find right now is http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/intro/compiler.htm (item #5).

I've tried a simple search on the forums, in the documentation, and the help file, but I can't find it.    

I want to have a custom icon for my compiled script (.exe) that you see in Windows Explorer; when the program is running (upper left corner of the window); and on the taskbar.

Would someone be so kind as to point me to the information on how to do this?

When I try compiling in (full) SciTE, and telling it the icon I want, I get the following:

an Aut2Exe Error pop-up that says "Error changing icon: Unable to read icon or icon was of the wrong format."

and then it puts this into the top of my code:

#Region ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Icon=..\..\..\..\..\SW\myLogo.ico
#EndRegion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****

Thanks,

tk

Try to open the icon in IcoFx portable to see if the file is corrupt.  If it opens, resave it with a new name.

Thank you for the reply, gruntydatsun.

It opened, so I did as you said and it looks like all it did was change the bit depth from 24 to 32.  Now I can use that file, so do you think that was the problem, wrong bit depth?

Thanks again,
