Compiled Icons?

#1 · August 11, 2021, 10:23 am

I think this has come up before...

I've recently switched from NeoBook to VisualNeo and now none of my program icons are not compiling.

They all worked before. I've been using IcoFX v1.6.4 for a couple of years. Ideas?

Hello,

I am not aware of any changes in that area when Neobook was rebranded to VisualNeoWin.

Was the last working version neobook 5.8.7 (the last one) ? What is your VisualNeoWin version?

Can you upload your icon file here or somewhere?

Regards

I discovered that if I turn off UPX, they compile just fine.

I am using NeoBook 5.8.7 and VisualNeo 21.7.4

Hello,

I can reproduce your problem here on my tablet-pc.

There was a similar thread some times ago: https://visualneo.com/forum/topic/cant-compile-custom-icon?part=1

I resaved it from PixelNeo, but the same result.

Not sure what the reasons are.

Maybe other user can test also.

Hello,

I tested your icon in a simple delphi app and it compiled with no problem.

So it should be OK. It has to be further investigated what happens in VN and what has changes since Neobook.

Hello,

I think I found the reason for the fail. The custom icon is compiled into the exe, but in the resource are 2 set of icons.

In resource "Icon Group" were 2 entrys:

"MAINICON : 1031" Here were the VN default icons stored

"MAINICON : 1033" Here was the custom icon

Displayed is the first entry with 1031.

I changed the code in the compiler to use 1031.

Then only the custom icon is in the resource and is used for display.

With the release of the next version, all users should test this feature on their systems.

Edit: For the final version the languages code is back to 1033. It is now used for default and custom icon.

Hello,

I tested it with Paul icon and 21.08.10 and it shows correctly.

Can you upload your icon here?

What is your OS and language setting?

My Operating system is Windows 10 version 20 H2 and the language is Spanish, and regarding the icno it does it with any icon

I have also tested in Windows 10 Spanish with no issues.
Please try compiling with a new executable name, perhaps you are watching a cached icon.

Hello,

Since Luis tested it on WIN10 spanisch, it is hard to guess.

When you want to try out a resource editor and have a look into your final exe's icon resource, then you could prove if your icon is there compiled. When there are 2 or more mainicon compiled, it might be the problem.

The mainicon should be there with language-id 1033 (us-english)

Actualice a la versión 21.9.9 y al momento de generar el aplicativo me aparece el icono que utilizo. la versión anterior de VisualWin no lo hacia.
