Custom Application Window Icon [SOLVED]

[Aaron Symons]

Hi guys,

 

I was wondering if anyone's ever used a custom icon for their application's window. If so, what steps did you take?

 

I imagine I might have to fiddle with the main.cpp file and possibly derive a new window class from Leadwerks::Window to get things working. One thing that will make this tricky: I'm targeting Windows OS, but eventually supporting OSX and Linux.

 

Many thanks

Resource Hacker works for LE Windows executables. Don't know if it would for any other platforms though.

Hi thehankinator,

 

That works like a charm! Can't believe it was so simple.

 

Many thanks!
