256 color icons

[Pet Terry]

...

I remember this being asked, but would it be possible? I mean custom icons, I made one really nice looking, but because it's 256 colors I can't use it with AGS. It does have under 16 colors though, so are there any programs that allows you to use custom 16 colors palette? I also remember there where some way to make AGS games to use 256 color icons.

If that's not possible then I just have to make my icon look ugly

The AGS editor can only automatically use 16-colour icons.

However, if you want to use a 256-colour icon it is possible by using a program like Resource Hacker on the Compiled executable file.

Obviously you'd have to do this whenever you recompiled the game, so it's probably only worth doing when you have a final version for distribution.
