bluefroggy09 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Your icon must first be in a .ico format.It must also be using 24-bit color, or less.Size must be 32x32, or 16x16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elihu Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 You can create Icons for your game from my skill icons for cs:de I uploaded a long time ago. Here are some of my own Icons I made. If they don't work in the attachments tell me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluefroggy09 Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 @Sherwin:> Can i use them? if yes thank you…Make your own following my instructions, it's very simple and takes about five minutes for a good quality, custom logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likestodraw Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I have GIMP, and just create an image (sometimes resizing really can distort it) of any size (square, of course), and save it as a .ico image. It's really easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kajamaz Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 For some weird resaon… its not working, keeps giving me the error, should it be a png when saved? or what format? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stein Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 *.ico, and make sure it's a 24bit(if i recall correctly) icon, because more modern formats are rejected by VB6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
