ICONs ICONs ICONs problem with Lectora... Quite a Pain!!!
January 3, 2014 12:00 AM
"Invalid Icon file. The icon file should contain a 16x16x16 image, a 32x32x32 image and 32x32x256 image . Runner icon may not have been replaced properly"
Completely vexed with this Lectora's error message. Here is what I have done:
1. Convert a .jpg image into .ico files using online free to formats: 16x16, 32x32, 48x48, 64x64, 72x72, 96x96, 120x120, 128x128
2. Now opened GIMP and then added color depth to all of above icons & re-saved them as:
16x16x16
16x16x256
32x32x16
32x32x256
48x48x16
48x48x256
64x64x16
64x64x256
72x72x16
72x72x256
96x92x16
96x92x256
120x120x16
120x120x256
128x128x16
128x128x256
3. Now opened the largest sizee .ico file i.e. 128x128x256 then re-opened the remaining .ico files as "Layers"
4. Then saved it as a XCF image in GIMP
5. Then re-opened the above XCF file and exported to a --> FinalIcon.ico file
6. Used this "FinalIcon.ico" file in Lectora & it stil doesn't work.
Quite frustrating. Am I doing some obviously wrong? Any other easier way to do this natively in Lectora?
Thanks,

Dear Folks - Can someone help? This is the last step in my project & am struggling with it. Anyone has solution to this?
Thanks,

We never output to executables, so I'm no expert but how about this: publish the file with the default Lectora icon and then replace the icon in the .exe with a program like Resource Hacker (http://www.howtogeek.com/75983/stupid-geek-tricks-how-to-modify-the-icon-of-an-.exe-file/) ?
It's been quite a while since I published something to EXE. I created a 16x16 and a 32x32 icon and combined them to a multi-layer icon using (I think it was) "iconsushi" (freeware). Lectora (vX.6) accepted that file when using the "Change Icon" setting during publication.
