Description peterme2005 2006-06-27 16:56:02 UTC

Im not sure if this is a defect or enhancement but when following certain guides
that tell me to replace the frame.gif frame48.gif (under
branding/../../../support) and so on such that I can brand my own netbeans
application. The only one that doesnt seem to work is frame32.gif which, as I
have read, replaces the netbeans .exe icon. So when i run "Build Zip
Distribution" and look at the /bin directory the executable (.exe) has the
existing netbeans icon.

Currently it is only possible to override icons of main window (also displayed
in taskbar). I need to find a way how to update .exe file with specified icons.

Comment 3 _ rkubacki 2006-07-11 10:02:38 UTC

One way is to bundle some utility like http://angusj.com/resourcehacker/ to
update the icon in existing .exe.

Another one is to use cc wrapper tasf for Ant and rebuild the .exe if gcc is
available. If we could also print a warning if gcc cannot be found and hint what
to do this can be acceptable IMO (installing cygwin including gcc and rebuild of
launchers is easy).
