suggestion for revision to Just BASIC beyond v1.01
« Thread started on: Nov 2nd, 2009, 8:39pm »
Modify Just BASIC to allow writing any one of a small set of altenate program icons; so our distributable programs need not be stuck with the current "B" image. Maybe give us three or four alternate icons and each of them may/might still contain a "B", but more interesting image designs. The images could use shape features different than the current stacked rotated two squares.

Only the first icon resource inside an executable file will be used as the program icon, if you have no way to specify a different one from within the application, which needs access to Windows API functions.
A more general way to change the icon of an executable is by using a resource editor. use IcoFX to create icons of your own you can find freeware icons on the net, but make sure to check the license to make sure the icons are really free for use with a distributed application

It would be handy for JB to recognize a Default.Ico in an application's folder. If it is in the folder use it for the window's icon, if not, use JB's default icon.
