They look fine and I can associate them with a Windows shortcut, but I have not been able to paste them into the IDE so they become part of the compiled program. It appears Real Studio wants me to paste icons of various sizes into the program. While IconFX will let me specify the sizes I want, there does not seem to be a way to copy them to the clipboard. I have successfully inserted some icons I purchased on the web into programs I wrote, but I would like to be able to make my own. Is there a program other than IconFX that works for this? Or am I doing something wrong with IconFX?

This is more for the benefit of the Mac side but Windows builds will use them too. What I normally do is create my app/doc icons using whatever graphics program I'm comfortable with and export them to png format. Then I take one of those and convert it to ico format using a web server at http://www.convertico.com. _________________ Bob K.

Roger is working in a version that also supports the sizes 512x512 and 1024x124. I don't know when this version will be available. _________________ MacBook Pro (late 2008), OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.2, Real Studio 2012r2 Top Display posts from previous: All posts1 day7 days2 weeks1 month3 months6 months1 year Sort by AuthorPost timeSubject AscendingDescending Page 1 of 1 [ 3 posts ] -- Over 1500 classes with 29000 functions in one REALbasic plug-in collection.
