As I have some experience in this field (icon creation), I'd like to say:
It's boring as hell, and you've got very little to show for the hour
you've sat at your terminal flicking little pixels on and off... :)
Nevertheless, it's an art form of sorts (IMHO), and in that respect, it's
the only art I think I could be really good at. S:)
Embedding icons, however, I haven't done. Would knowing the file format at
the icon position in Windows EXEs and DLLs help, and could something like
this just be snipped verbatim from another executable and bolted onto EXW?
Inspired thought:
Maybe RDS could add a 'slot' to EXW for _one_ icon, and also include a
shrouded program (like bind) that would read in a standard ".ico" file to
replace it. Possibly a warning given if EXW.EXE itself, rather than a
bound Windows EXE, is going to be changed...
Blatant Plug:
My icons can be seen on my Euphoria page. Also, the ".ex" and ".exw" disk
icons on the RDS Contributions page were done by me.
