Unable to change the app icon

I'm working in VS 2010, my project name is bg_img, so I had two icons in Resources tab: bg_img.ico and small.ico.
I replaced both .ico files with my custom .ico files and recompiled the program - still I see the default icon in the window.
If I double click on .ico files in VS I can see my custom images of different sizes there and if I double click on .rc file, I can also see them under Icon menu as IDI_BG_IMG and IDI_SMALL.
Can anyone please tell me why my icon doesn't show up? Thank you!

The .ico file can contain several images with different sizes and number of colors.  If you’re saying the icon showing in the caption bar of your window is old, that could be because you are loading the icon with LoadIcon, which I think ignores any 16x16
icon in the .ico file, instead if takes the 32x32 icon and shrinks it.  So if you did not make a new icon for the 32x32 one, that is why.
You can use LoadImage instead of LoadIcon and specify 16 as desired width and height, then it will use the 16x16 image in your .ico file.

  • Is it possible to change the app icon for websites?

    Hi,
    I have created a web shortcut to my home screen, at the moment the icon defaults to a shot of the web page (although very small) and was wondering if it was possible to change the app icon ?

    Yes, if you can upload an icon to the webpage and change the HTML:

  • How do I change the app icons on the bottom bar of my iMac

    I would like to add another icon to the bottom of my screen and can't remember how to do it.  I know its simple.  I've gone to all the obvious places.

    If it's an app, navigate to the Apps folder in Finder and select the app you want in the Dock and drag it to the Dock.

    Next time you accidentally use 3 fingers it will zoom again. Unless you need the feature you're better to turn it off

  • I am unable to update my apps in IPAD1.  The App icon lists the available updates but seems to be frozen.

    I am unable to update my apps in IPAD 1.  The App icon lists the updates but appears to be frozen.  The individual app icons show the space where "waiting" usually appears and do not work.  If I touch the apps icons, I get a message that states..."Unable to download. Do you want to try again." (or something similar).

    See if this helps. Reboot your router - unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it back in again. Reboot/reset your iPad as well and then try again.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    In the Elements Organizer 13
    The key to all this is to click on/select/highlight the Album that you have created in Local Albums.
    Then make sure that the Sort By: (in the row below the highlighted "Media" header is set for Album Order.
    You should see a number at the top left of each of thumbnails.
    Then, click on the thumbnail that you want to move, hold down the click, and drag the thumbnail to the wanted new location
    in the line up of thumbnails.
    Often I had to press down hard on the drag.
    Please let us know if that worked for you.
    Also, in Edit Menu/Preferences/Keyword Tags and Albums/Enable Manual Sorting Options, I set all for manual.

  • I changed my Apple ID for an iphone 4s and need to change the iCloud Apple ID/password.  I am unable to change the Apple ID under the iCloud account information without the password which no longer exists.  How can I update my phone?

    I had to change the Apple ID used for my iphone 4s.  How do I change the Apple ID for the iCloud information? - the old Apple ID/password no longer exists and this information is requested to make a change.  I am unable to change the Apple ID for the iCloud account.

    Apple IDs never go away, so it still exists.
    But lets be clear. You actually stopped using an Apple ID and created a NEW Apple ID. You didn't just change the email address of your Apple ID? That means that all of the music and apps purchased with the old Apple ID will have to be purchased again.
    If you really did create a new Apple ID you will need the password associated with the old one to disable Activation Lock. There is no way around this. As I said, the old one still exists. You can use the standard tools to recover the password at https://appleid.apple.com.

  • Is there a way to change the default icon for a sound file in KN2

    i have need to include dozens of sound files on each slide that will trigger as text builds. i can handle all the transitions fine but i cannot figure out how to change the standard icon for the sound file.
    i would prefer to have the text be the icon, if that is not possible to have a smaller icon for the file. as i build the page i am ending up with a huge mess, icons covering text, also there is not a intuitive way to tell which sound file is which with out click/playing each file.

    Did you try:
    OracleBI/web/app/res/s_.../popbin/
    EX:
    line.pcxml Look for <SeriesDefinition ...
    we modified the line width and a few other things. You'll have to modify all the pcxml files for all the chart types you want to customize.

  • Unable to open the app in ios7 it gets crashed?

    unable to open the app in ios7 it gets crashed?

    A little more info please. What app is causing you problems? What have you tried to fix it? And what if any error messages do you get?
    You might try quitting the app and resetting your iPad.
    Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

    Hi Helen5012,
    When troubleshooting iTunes Store connection issues, the following articles provides the best information:
    First, try signing out of your account in Settings > iTunes & App Store. Once signed out, go ahead and sign back in.
    iOS: Changing the signed-in iTunes Store Apple ID account
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1311
    If the above did not resolve your issue, refer to the following:
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    - Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking on Check for Update in your device's Summary page in iTunes.
    - Check and verify that you are in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you are on a 3G capable device, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    - Check to make sure you have an active internet connection. You can check the User Guide for your device for help with connecting to the internet.
    - Check to make sure other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the internet.
    - Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router
    - If the issue still persists see, iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connectionsoriOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections.
    Thanks,

  • Is there I way I can reload the google calendar as I am unable to change the views or go forward or backward by weeks.

    Is there a way to reload the Google Calendar program on my laptop? Currently, I am unable to change the views. It is always on the current week. I cannot get the daily view either. Thanks!!

    This would not seem to be an Apple issue at all, much less for Apple Remote Desktop. These forums cannot help you with setting up Google Calendar on a Windows system. Perhaps you would be better served by taking your question to a forum related to Google's apps or at least a Windows forum.
    Or did you just forget to include details about what computer you're actually asking about?

    Spooky6243 has the solution for CC updates (it worked for me, anyway!): log in to the Apple Store on your web browser (http://http://store.apple.com/us) and then update your account inof there...credit card updates will appear on the iTunes application after making changes thru the website...I wonder why Apple never tells us this in the first place? Probably because it should work thru either application...good luck everyone!
    P.S. - And make sure your iTunes app is closed before you make changes on the website (this may help you Geordon).
