Building standalones

[Ken Ray]

Charles, you need to create a 16-color (NOT 16-bit color, but 16 colors) icon. I use GraphicConverter, which does a wonderful job. Import/open a 32x32 graphic, downsample it to 16 colors, and then save it in "Windows Icon (*.ico)" format. Voila!

  I've tried to do this before, but can't seem to create an .ico file that will be accepted. (I'm a Mac user, mainly, maybe that add to the mystery for me.)
  How do you do this?
  What software and/or process do you use?
  Do you have to do anything special for XP?

      Is there a icon id # I can use to embed a custom icon, and have Metacard use it? Or would the goal be to edit the icon stack of Metacard (the one that gets embedded...?)

    On the Win side of things, you can set the icons from within the standalone builder.
