There are many free utillities that are capable of creating .ico icon files. Programming suites such as Borland Delphi tend to include resource editors. My favourite was Borland's Resource Workshop, which was bundled with Borland TurboPascal and was also included on the Delphi 5 CD as an extra. This could also create cursors, bitmaps, along with the more programmer-specific types.


http://www.download.com would probably be the most reliable place to get a suitable utility.

The icon will work if it is 32 x 32 pixels and 16 colors. I created an icon with these settings and it worked. It may work with 256 colors, but I haven't tried it yet.

Where should the icon be on my computer?

As far as I have tested, keep the icon in the same directory as the saved file game. If you don't have a saved file game, you can try having it in the game directory.

What do you type for the file name?  I've been trying stuff and they won't load.

Did you add the .ico to the end? Example : if the icon is called Test.ico , then that is what you type in for the icon.

What program have you been using to convert images to icons?

I used the Borland's Workshop program. But this program creates icons and doesn't convert them.

Note : Borland's Workshop is a resource editor/creator to create resources for Windows Programming.

Everytime I try to load the icon it says it can't be loaded.  I don't know whats wrong I have made them 32X32 icons.

You may have to try multiple times to get it working, I got an error, when I tried, but I click ok/view icon a second time and it seemed to work. Just fool around
