How can I change the ICON in the upper left corner of the App??? No matter what I try, the AppGameKit icon is still there.
Is that icon mandatory for the AppGameKit Apps, or can I use my own?


Thanks

It was generally a pain to change the icon in DBP, and since I don't see any options they may not have made it a priority for version 1.

I am happy to have the "Made with AGK" logo on my splash screen.
However, the icon is needed to brand the game, and I know I can pack it, but the app itself uses the AppGameKit icon for the title of the game.

All I want is to change the Icon in the top left of the app.
I would much rather have the ability to change that icon than the option of the AppGameKit splash screen logo.

I tried changing the setup file with a icon = "icon.ico" , but it never changed and all I got was the AppGameKit icon.

Is there a list anywhere of the settings we can use for the setup file?

Change this in tier 2

wcex.hIcon= LoadIcon(hInstance, MAKEINTRESOURCE(50));
wcex.hIconSm= LoadIcon(wcex.hInstance, MAKEINTRESOURCE(51));

also you need a resource file look at

Or you could just download XN resource editor (google it) open the exe in it and change all the icons that are there.

When you create the tier2 project to publish your app, i am sure you can change the icon there.

Perhaps a new setup.agc field:

icon=yourfile.png

The compiler would then do what it needs to do to ensure that image replaces the default icon for apps that use an icon (Windows).

As was previously mentioned, when you come to build your T1 BASIC app for selling, you are compiling the byte code with the native project so you can easily change the icon there. If it's a little tricky, we can write some guides to help with this.

he compiler would then do what it needs to do to ensure that image replaces the default icon for apps that use an icon (Windows).

That would make it really easy for even a beginner to do.
The wrapper I'm using changes it for the exe file, but the app itself still shows AppGameKit icon when it is running.
I would love AppGameKit even more if it did have the icon=x.png for the setup.

Please add this as a feature request to the newly created issues board. There is a category for feature requests:

I went to the link, but I did not see a feature request section on the issues board.
I'll post something anyway.

Thanks Lee

When you Add an issue, you will notice a combo drop down which allows you to select Type-Enhancement, which means a feature request rather than a bug found.

Hey Lee,

there is no such combo with that option when entering the bug report. Maybe this is an permission that has to be enabled?

I've added mine using "Feature Request" on the title...

Thanks

Add it as a bug in the bug reporting system

LOL. But Conjured Entertainment is right, there is no combo box atm.

I am putting the link as a link for those of you who are like me and too lazy to copy/paste it to the address bar.

Hmm, it might only appear to me as the administrator Sorry for the confusion. I will categorise them as the issues come in, no worries.
