AutoChris Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 Why is it that whenever I change the AutoIt icon after compiling my script, the executable no longer works? Is this supposed to be some sort of security feature? Changing the icon isn't absolutely necessary, but it is nice to have a different icon for different scripts so that when I am running multiple scripts I can see which one is running based on the icon that shows up in the taskbar.

CyberSlug Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 (edited) The icon has to be a certain size--file size or color depth or something. The provided icons in Aut2Exe\Icons should work; other icons probably won't....EDIT: Okay, I'm wrong New versions of AutoIt like virtually any icon!Anyone know a good icon editor?

sykes Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 http://www.axiomx.com/PixelToolbox/index.htmNo a bad little program .... and it's FREE!!! one of my favorite four letter words ... Not sure if it changed but the icons had to be 32 x 32 Pixels 16 colors and be 766 bytes in size We have enough youth. How about a fountain of SMART?

Administrators Jon Posted December 11, 2003 Administrators Share Posted December 11, 2003 In v3 the icons can be any size/format. Not sure why the original poster was not specifying the icon they wanted during compilation. The compiled exectuables are checksumed and encrypted and any changes to them will indeed stop the exe working. It is part security feature and is also helps prevent unauthorised decompiling.

Not sure why the original poster was not specifying the icon they wanted during compilation.Ah, maybe the poster didn't know about Aut2Exe.exe (which should be located in AutoIt's program directory) and, instead, simply compiled the sript from the context menu.I had assumed the poster was chaning the icon this way.... but I see I misread the post!

AutoChris Posted December 12, 2003 Author Share Posted December 12, 2003 You are correct. I hadn't thought of using Aut2Exe to compile my scripts. I had used an icon editor (Axicons, actually) to modify the icons after compilation in AutoIt v2 so I guess I was spoiled doing it that way.Now that I have started using the Aut2Exe, everything works just fine.Thanks!
