Use the inexor logo as a windows icon #451

Open a-teammate opened 7 years ago

a-teammate commented 7 years ago

The window of Inexor does currently not have an icon.

Notice:

we use cmake
the folders dist and cmake
we don't have a native windows installer yet (less work for you!) [we have that for development]

We should

render the inexor logo to a windows .ico file
- add an .rc file (reference the icon there) and add it to the inexor executables.

Have you seen this? https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL_SetWindowIcon Would be a platform independent solution.

Croydon commented 7 years ago

I have actually looked into that a long time ago the SDL methode seems to work well from what I remember.

Hi all, would it be possible for me to work on this issue?

Fohlen commented 7 years ago

Hello @pirosm1 and welcome to Inexor! ☯️ If you feel comfortable with it I will assign you for this issue?

pirosm1 commented 7 years ago

Hey @Fohlen Just saw this sorry! Feel free to assign this to me. I'll be working on it :+1:

Croydon commented 7 years ago

@pirosm1 Are you planning to make a Windows-only solution or are you looking into SDL_SetWindowIcon?

Fohlen commented 7 years ago

In case you're doing this for window

add a desktop shortcut to Inexor flex, then deprecate the inexor.bat
do the same for Linux

pirosm1 commented 7 years ago

I'm looking to use SDL_SetWindowIcon, unless you believe I should proceed otherwise of course

pirosm1 commented 6 years ago

Hey guys, I'm actually right in the middle of a big move until the middle of August.

I may not be able to get to this issue in time of your next release... depending on when it is. Thoughts?

IAmNotHanni commented 6 years ago

I created the icons using IcoFx.
