Quote: I know that with Delphi and Director, too, users of these programs were also disappointed that they could not use their own icons without jumping through a lot of hoops. The first thing someone saw was, "oh, look this was made with director"-- which isn't relevant to the game/product at hand.
I don't know where you got your information about changing icons with Delphi but I've been using delphi since 1995 and it's absoluting a piece of cake to use your own icon for the .exe that you create.
