Icon personalized for stand-alone instance

[lecleto]

Hello Ctrlrs!
Is possible create a personalized icon for a restricted instance panel .exe file?
How I can do this? What is the size of icon and format and where I config this feature?
Thanks in advance!

Hello.
…
Yes, it is!
…
Use this:
http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/
…
Is a small free software.
…
Get gimp or photoshop and save your image in .ico file – 32×32 to 128×128, maybe more…
…
Cheers.

Thank you João Marco!
This program will create a .ico file from my image right?
Where in Ctrlr I will associate with this .ico file to my .exe file?

Hello.

Right. First you export it as a standalone, then you open the Resourse Hacker and replace the two icons ctrlr uses in the exe final file.
When open, you right click in the explorer, on the icons folder, you can replace it in a easy way.
