Any new idea's ? There are two ways to interpret this request. A bound program, or a translated and compiled program. Check out bind.doc (which comes with Eu). Look at the options for binding, and you'll find: -icon filename[.ico] - When you bind a program, you can patch in your own customized icon, overwriting the one in exw.exe. exw.exe contains a 32x32 icon using 256 colors. It resembles an E) shape. Windows will display this shape beside exw.exe, and beside your bound program, in file listings. You can also load this icon as a resource, using the name "exw" (see euphoria\demo\win32\window.exw for an example). When you bind your program, you can substitute your own 32x32 256-color icon file of size 2238 bytes or less. Other dimensions may also work as long as the file is 2238 bytes or less. The file must contain a single icon image (Windows will create a smaller or larger image as necessary). The default E) icon file, euphoria.ico, is included in the Complete Edition. You can bind it, or distribute it separately, with or without your changes. As for a translated and compiled, I believe someone figured this out recently, and posted the solution, which involves creating a resource for the program. You should be able to find it fairly easily searching the list archives. Matt Lewis http://www.realftp.com/matthewlewis
