Just download the file and run it. I tested with Windows XP and 7, but I expect them to work on newer Windows versions too.

Given that some icons are a required part of standard widgets (for example GtkSpinButton won't display properly without them), I'd expect that a fallback be always available. 2017-05-28 22:35 GMT+02:00 Carsten Mattner <carstenmatt...@gmail.com>: > Windows PE executables have a nice feature where there's a resource > section which is by convention used for strings and also graphics like > the program's icons.

I'll ask whether that is supported. 2017-05-29 10:48 GMT+02:00 Rafal Luzynski <digitalfr...@lingonborough.com>: > This looks like a good solution to me.

It looks like that would suit my needs too. Thank you all again. Gerardo
