Change PTE icon

[gamy@cableone.net]

I'd like to change the application icon and customize it.

When I make a slide show with PTE, I get a simple old DOS icon for an application. Can I change this to an indivifual different icon for each slide show. I'd like to use on of my slide show pictures for this icon.

Hello,

There is this function in PicturesToExe. To add your own icon, just go to

Project Options | Main | "Use own icon for the presentation".

"...a simple old DOS icon..."

We have vastly improved default icon in the newest v4.00. But of course, you're free to assign any own icon.

The added icon needs to be sized to 16x16 or 32x32.

And you need to reduce the color down to 256.

Two Freeware programs that allow you to do this are:

IrfanView and XnView

Most users on the Forum talk about Irfanview But myself I use Xnview.

If you need more help explaning how to crop and resize and

reduce the colors down to 256 then save as an icon.

Just post again. And tell us what program you are using. I am sure

someone using the same program will be more then happy to help you

along your way.

As Igor said v4.0 has a nice Icon added if you do not add one yourself

And PTE has Free upgrades So it does not cost to upgrade to the lastest version

If you need hlep with this too just leave a post. someone

will answer all your question.

PTE asks for an .ico file for custom Icons, can this be created with PS?

Thanks,
