Custom Group Bar Icons

[AJL]

I have tried to use my own icons in place of the ones in the examples/documentation folder loaded with DIAdem.  I can not get my icons to work.  All I see is a blue sware with a "?" in it and a tipstrip stating the icon is unavailable.  How can I create my own icons?  I even tried to use the NI icon editor in LabVIEW 8.6.  This will not even read in the DIAdem icons.  I assue I cannot get anything to work because I do not have the correct .ico format (how many pages make up the icon, at what resolution, etc.)  Can anyone provide any information on the contents of the icon and how I can create custom .ico files that will work in DIAdem.

Thanks and Merry Christmas.

Hello AJL!

The Icon must have the uncommon 27x27 pixel format. Color depth is not important.

I love the Axialis IconWorkshop to edit icons.

Merry christmas

Hello AJL! 

If you want a freeware tool wich works you can try IcoFX. They also have a mobile version wich needs no installation at all.
