Icon stuck as ren'py default? (SOLVED)
Hi,
The icon for my game shows up fine as a window and in the taskbar, but when I build distributions the icon for the application is still the default icon with the little ren'py girl. Does anyone know how to change that? Any help would be appreciated

Go to the gui folder and find the file image named "gui folder", you can find the window_icon and you can change the image with the same size file.

open options and find changed the directory where you put it at
Code: Select all

Re: Icon stuck as ren'py default?
If you're talking about the exe icon and stuff, you need to include a .ico and/or .icns file with the game.

Re: Icon stuck as ren'py default?
They've done that according to the opening post.
Only thing I can think of is it maybe the wrong file format?

Re: Icon stuck as ren'py default?
The icon is in the images file as a .png file which worked for everything but the application icon, so do I convert it to a .ico/ .icns or do I copy it, convert that one and have two of the same image just as different formats? or will converting the format change the window and bar icon too?

Re: Icon stuck as ren'py default?
see when I changed the icon to .ico the image comes out as like a loading bar/box, neither as the default renpy icon or mine. i remember trying this before and found that people who had converted it to a .png file had their icon come out fine, but for me the application icon is still stuck as the default as a .png. I'm pretty stumped.

Re: Icon stuck as ren'py default?
How did you convert your PNG file to ICO?
Just changing the file name won't work, you need to edit it in an image editor that supports exporting the proper ICO file format. I use GIMP myself, works great.
PNG files will not work.

Or were you referring to the window_icon which is a PNG file?

Re: Icon stuck as ren'py default?
I used an online conversion tool. The problem is that when I converted the icon to .ico the window_icon wouldn't show which is why I had kept it as .png. but then I realised that keeping it as .png meant that the icon for the application when on the desktop wouldn't be my icon because it isn't in .icoImperf3kt wrote: ↑Wed Jun 03, 2020 4:28 pm How did you convert your PNG file to ICO?

Re: Icon stuck as ren'py default?
The window icon and the icon.ico file are two different things - one controls in-game, and one controls before the game is launched.

Re: Icon stuck as ren'py default?
Which files is the window icon and the icon.ico supposed to be in? I think maybe they're in the wrong places which is why the icon.ico doesn't work?

Re: Icon stuck as ren'py default?
AH I FINALLY DID IT! I didn't realise that the icon.ico had to be in the games directory and not in the game file itself! Thank you everyone for your advice, definitely still learning about code but definitely thankful for anyone's and everyone's help
