NeoEdge Icon Change

#1 · December 29, 2021, 4:53 pm

I tried to change the NeoEdge icon using Resource Hacker but the recompiled executable doesn't work. I tried it with the NW.js executable and it worked fine. I don't know... maybe because NeoEdge was compiled with VisualNeo Win with the compress options enabled?

@eduardovolpi I never use compress options to compile VisualNEO Win projects. I don't know why are you having problems.
Anyway I will take a look.

Regards.

I see. I'm probably doing something wrong here.

Hi, @eduardovolpi

Sorry, you're right, when you change the icon stops working

@eduardovolpi @emmanuel-fernandez, sorry it seems the executable was compressed. I have recompiled neoEdge and uploaded it to the server. Please download again and let me know if it solves the problem.
Thanks so much!

Thanks @luishp. It still doesn't work. It seems that it is not possible to modify any resource of an executable compiled with VisualNeo Win using programs like Resource Hacker and similar without damaging it.

Hi @eduardovolpi ,

I have not been able to, but you can create an application in visualneowin that acts as a launcher.

In it you embed in a zip all the files of the application, including the neoedge and the application generated with visualneoweb.

Then you unzip in a temporary directory, and run neoedge from the launcher , so in the launcher you can put the icon you want.

I haven't tried it, but it's the only thing I can think of if you don't have npedge to compile your own neoEdge.exe

Greetings

Wow! In fact, it works. Thank you for pointing me to this solution @emmanuel-fernandez !

Yes!, and you also maintain additional protection to the application generated with visualneoweb so that they can not alter it ;-)

Happy new year!

HI @luishp, @eduardovolpi There is a better solution!

If luis compiles a new version of NeoEdge.exe with this in the initialize routine:

From the tests I've done, the icon must be a .ico

:Initialize
  .custom icon
  FileExists "[CurrentDir]\img\custom-icon.ico" "[Result]"
  If "[Result]" "=" "true"
     LoadIcon "[CurrentDir]\img\custom-icon.ico" "MainIcon"
  EndIf

Very good @emmanuel-fernandezdez !

@emmanuel-fernandez @eduardovolpi

Done! but I have used icon.ico instead of custom-icon.ico.
Please download from the downloads page.

Thank you!
