Icon problem with version 7.4.003 and 7.4.004

For some reason the same icons I used for my exe's with the beta versions don't work with public release versions 7.4.003 and 7.4.004. It is telling me No 16x16 icon found in C:\directory. Is this is a bug or am I forced do change all my icons and find new ones for all my programs?

Thank you

You just need to make sure there is a 16x16 icon in the .ico file. Previously while we didn't enforce this problems could arise if one wasn't included as the application needs to use a 16x16 icon on forms that it generates.

Very easy to add a 16x16 icon to your .ico file. Download the freeware IconoMaker from: http://www.aha-soft.com

Open your .ico file in IconoMaker. Right click on one of the icons and select Duplicate Image. Then right click on the new image and select Convert Image and select 16x16. Save the icon file and it will now work with Macro Scheduler.

I don't mean to be a pain in the butt but when viewing the exe as a thumbnail in a folder it's really blurry

Before the changes for the public version, the icons were clear now when looking at them it makes me feel as if I need glasses.
Is the icon suppose to look all blurry in thumbnail size?

for what it's worth, I'm using Icon Construtor 2.......all my icons and thumbnails are clear.

That would happen if you only had one size of icon in the .ico file. Say you had only a 16x16 icon in the file. In Windows Explorer it would look great in Detail view but would look awful in Icons view. If you make sure you have a 16x16 and a 32x32 icon in the .ico file it will look great in both modes. You can also add 48x48 size icons.

Thanks for the reply Support, I didn't even think about adding a 48x48 icon to the file.
