Making icon for a Windows Form: How to make it show up correctly?
OK, so I have built a Windows Form application. I now want an icon for it.
So I use the Icon Editor built into Visual Studio 2012. Draw it all out to
look nice and purdy. Once I am done, I have a .ico file and I make it the
default icon for the project, and also the icon for the one WinForm in the
application.
Unfortunately, it does not show up as I have created it! It is displayed
as the default icon file as it existed before I modified it in the icon
editor. It's a 32x32 4 bit icon. If I change the extension to .bmp it
shows up as the default.
It looks like the VS icon editor is editing something else, not the
appearance of the icon. Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?
I used to have a progam called IconArt that would create icons that looked
like icons when I used them in VS. IconArt is now abandonware and won't
run on my 64bit Windows workstation.
