Yes... With 3rd party free tools like reshacker. (Possibly blide pro as well?)

Or you can incbin a .o with an icon on windows. On Mac you can load in the icon into the application bundle.

For Windows I used BlitzICON. It was very easy to use.

@Armitage 1982: You have to create a .desktop file. See for some doc in the net. It's a simple textfile.

Yes, this is something that has been requested since Blitz Basic 2D, many many years ago... ;) Easy to implement. Not sure why it never was added, even after all these years... Russell Last edited 2012
