From my understanding with jcl the 16/32 method was for A7 only. Does anyone know a good freeware icon changer? I dont need fancy features just want to make sure that all the icons change correctly

Greenfish Icon Editor, IIRC that one is free.

Greenfish is indeed a great tool!

Perhaps you could help me through this? I have opened the acknex icon in the gstudio8 folder, and saved a backup. Then overwrote the original with my icon. My published version Icon appears correctly, but when I run the game, it displays as the acknex icon still.

I made a new icon for each entry 16,32,48

EXE files and icons

...

For using an EXE file with an individual icon, create a copy of the acknex.exe engine in your Gamestudio folder, alter the icon of the copy with an Icon Manager program, and give the path to the altered EXE in the Engine field (or just copy it back to acknex.exe). The executable will then be created from your copy with the altered icon, rather than from the original engine. The icon from the EXE will also be used for the task bar. Please note that afterwards altering the icon of a published executable won't work.

P (needs Pro Version) If an icon file named "32.ico" (size 32x32) or "16.ico" (size 16x16) is found in the work folder, it is automatically loaded and used for the task bar icon instead of the icon from the EXE. Alternatively you can use the SED ChangeExeIcon plugin for patching the executable with your own icon.

I am trying that method again,

This however was for A7 only according to jcl


It is still not working for me smirk

Your right DLively, it does not seem to change the icon in the taskbar (it does change the exe icon). Maybe we are missing a smaller icon specially used for the taskbar?

I think that the problem (taskbar icon) related with acknex.dll, not related with exe. and as far as i know users can't change acknex.dll with any icon program or with resource hacker. You should ask Jcl, maybe he can bring back "16-32.ico feature" with next update.
