Re: Is resource editting my ToGo exe the only way to change my application icon?

Tim,

I was hoping it was just some property in the Lagoon wizard (e.g. I can
edit my application copyright info in there) or that there was some
automatable strategy.

There is a limited ability to set the version strings from the package's
properties and/or Lagoon (its the same thing just reached via different
routes). That includes the copyright string which shows up in the .exe's
"properties" page (properites=>imageStripper->versionResource). It may be that
you can also set up other string tables from there, but I have tried it myself.
If you want more than that then there is nothing "in the box".


Do I have to use ResHacker or equvalent? Or has someone come up with a
command line tool that can do this?

Some time ago I put together a moderately complete package for manipulating
graphical resources from Dolphin (icons, bitmaps, etc). It turns out that the
underlying Windows APIs are themselves buggy, and the workaround I devised is
so ugly that, although it seems to work, I never went back and integrated it
properly into the package. Still, I do use that stuff in my own deployment
code, and I haven't seen any problems so far. I'm not convinced that it
offers any really strong advantages over scripting ResHacker, but if anyone's
interested I'll finish the integration and publish it somewhere.
