Hello,

Can I add an icon to my exe that has more then 255 colors and with a larger size then 64X64 pixels.

With Resource workshop I can not use icons larger then 6
pixels. The color limit seems to be 256 colors.

These days that is nog enough of course.

Greetings

Willy Hermans.

You can't edit icons with more than 256 colors in BRW but you can add them to the project.

Hello Willy,

at the end of the RC-file I added with a Text-editor :

draw ICON "draw.ico"

You have to add this line with a text-editor, not with workshop
If you want to open the RC-file with Resource-workshop,
you must delete this line again, otherwise you will get a open-error.

Draw.ico : 128 x 128 True Color + Alpha

If you do it this way, it works without problems.

Regards
Uwe

Hola amigo...
Con el PellesC se puede hacer eso, puedes agregar Iconos y BMPs con colores verdaderos.
Yo antes utilizaba Workshop, y fue unos de los motivos por los cuales migre a PellesC.
Cualquier duda con PellesC no dudes en preguntar.
Saludos.

Sorry,

I was very occupied last days (lots of AVG pc's solved)

Thanks for the answer.

I'll try this out asap.

Thanks again,

Willy.
