Can we import an image (etc png) for icons to use in icon editor to change labview default icon from icons in build specification?

Kind Regards

Hi Austin,

As per my knowledge, of course you can import an image for using it as an icon. The only constrain is you must have a .ico file for using as an image icon.

You could also simply copy the image and paste it direcly into the Icon Editor.

The issue with importing a picture directly is the size of the picture since an icon is usually 16X16, 32X32 or 48X48. If you copy directly you will only see a portion of your picture. An easy run around is to use a free converter you can download from the web to convert your pictures to icon. Personally I use EasyPicture2Icon. You can then modify the result with the icon editor.

I was working under the assumption that the OP had a PNG of an image of the appropriate size, such as the plethora of icons that you can find on sites like gettyicons.com, iconarchive.com, or openiconlibrary.sourceforge.net, and not a visage like this: http://wall.alphacoders.com/big.php?i=140520&w=2560&h=1600

Use IcoFX to make the icon. It's free and can create larger icons. Then, point LV to the .ico file you created.
