Compiling an exe and the ico file size...

Hi,

I compiled a macro using the favicon.ico file from a website, no problem. I had another larger .ico file made and MS doesn't like it, says it can't find a 16x16 icon found in the .ico file I specified. Is that the maximum size of the icon, 16x16? It looks bad at full size on the desktop and I'd like to use a larger one.

Thanks!

Hi utz,
You must have a 16x16 icon in your icon file, other than that you can pretty much add any size you like. I normally have 16x16, 24x24, 32x32 and 48x48 icons in my icon files.

I had a similar problem a few years ago.

Hi Rain,

Thanks! That did the trick but now I have the same blurry image you were talking about in your thread. How did you fix that?

Thanks again,
Utz

Forgot to mention that I have a 16x16 icon in the .ico as well as a 48x48. It seems to blow up the small one instead of using the big one when the compiled script is on the desktop.

Well, I figured it out. I only had a 16x16 and a 48x48, and no 32x32. Adding that fixed it!
