I took all the files of different resolutions--256, 128, 64, and 32 bit--and using the article at http://egressive.com/tutorial/creating-a-multi-resolution-favicon-including-transparency-with-the-gimpas a guide, I also created a 48 and a 16 bit images, and then combined those all into an icon using GIMP, but I still get just the default icon on my executable. Noting that the article only mentions needing resolution of 128 bit and lower, I also tried throwing out the 256 bit image, but that didn't make any difference. I noticed that the 48bit & 16bit images, produced by scaling down the 256bit image, are also reduced to 4bpp, whereas the ones from Kolourpaint are 8bpp; might this mixing the resolutions make any difference? Is there any sort of debug I can turn on during Build.py to see why it's not using the icon?
