Title: * Make your own custom favicon (ico) icon
Post by: barefoot on Sat 19/12/2009 17:58:33
Hi

if you are looking to create you own program icon:

first:  create your image 48x48 (gif) in your paint program, then go to:

http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/favicon/

where you can turn it into a favicon...  after you have created and downloaded it simply rename it USER and put it in your games folder... open up AGS, save and then create exe.

when you next look you will see your image icon as the program exe


PS You can also make ico files with MS Paint, make canvas 48x48. There is no option in save as for ico..    but just put .ico as extention such as user.ico...


Hope this is usefull

What does this do in "Hints and Tips" forum?  :-\
Barefoot, this subforum is for hints and tips about solving game puzzles, as far as I know.

Despite this particular mis-post being potentially very helpful, it seems a lot of newcomers (but not barefoot) mistake this section for BTQ. A possible tweak of the section name might help solve this, such as Clue Corner, or anything else less cheesy :). I don't know how easy that would be, and since it's not my place...

EDIT: These threads are taken from the first five pages.

Yes, good idea. 

Maybe have a Topic Section entitled something like "Tools" where you can get info  and downloads like paint, drawing programs etc etc etc

Food for thought
