[Solved] Windows application icon not apear in the explorer

dasun

I think I did follow all the step guided "here.":http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/appicon.html. I guess res file has linked with the exe because the file size has increased.

My .pro file (vaastu.pro)

@QT += sql core gui printsupport

greaterThan(QT_MAJOR_VERSION, 4): QT += widgets

TARGET = vaastu
TEMPLATE = app

win32 {
RC_FILE = vaastu.rc
}
SOURCES += ...

HEADERS += ....

FORMS += ...

RESOURCES +=
Fonts.qrc
@

My .rc file (vaastu.rc)

@IDI_ICON1 ICON DISCARDABLE "vaastu.ico"@

Hi,

On what version of windows do you see the problem ?

IIRC, I had some problem with windows XP where the icon had to be 32x32 pixels otherwise it would not show.

Hope it helps

I did try with 32x32 pixels too. Result is still the same.

Environment : 5.1.0 Alpha(32 bit),
OS: Windows 8 (64bit)

I dig the exe with Resource Hacker, resource files are inside it but I couldn't find Icon_group section inside it.
