Whackeddie99 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 @Kajamaz:> Does this still work, does anyone have an updated version of this?Make an icon, save is as .ico, save into your graphics folder, open client in VB6, go to project properties I believe, then change the frmMain icon and frmMenu icon to the icon in your graphics folder.

Growlith1223 Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 it means that it's not a valid .ico image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ariel Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I know, i just cant find what is valid for vb6 :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawntide Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 I think, because vb 6 is so damn outdated, we need a really low detail pixel art icon, that sucks tbh. I will choose the icon changer method, so i can use my fucking High definition .ico. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Growlith1223 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 just use a program called reshacker.You can change the .ico file to a newer one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synergy Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 VB6 only supports icons of 32x32 or 16x16, with 24-bit or 8-bit colour, not icons with 32-bit colour (alpha channel).[IcoFX](http://icofx.ro/) is a really good program for making icons.
