Adding an icon to a Dev-C++ Program

If you go to the Dev C++ folder, you can find the .exe file of the program, but the icon will be the old default clumsy one. Just for an example let me create a small program and show you the exe file. Here ya go!


To change the icon, you need two things :
1. Dev-C++                    2. .ico file


.ico file basically is just an image file which is used as an icon. You can easily find an ico creator or an ico converter online.


  • In Dev-C++, click on Project -->  Project Options.

                

  • Click on the 'Browse' button in the icon section.


  • Click on the 'Browse' button in the icon section.
  • Navigate to the .ico file and click Ok.



  • Now compile the program again, and the desired program will have the icon you selected!


Happy Coding!
