If I'm not mistaken, I believe the app is displaying the icon in
only 16 colors. Try re-rendering your icon for 16 colors,
then re-attach it to your app.

Extracting an Icon and Placing It On The Desktop (C# Language) I constructed a suite of programs in C++ several years ago that handle my financial portfolio, and now I have converted them to C#.

I've developed a windows service that monitors the database and shows icon of a different color depending on the data. To be able to show an icon I have to select the "Allow service to interact with desktop" checkbox on the service, and when I do it manually, the icon shows just fine. But I want the users to double-click the installation file and not have to go to the Services and select the checkbox. So I used this example...

Hi, When I save out an HTML file to my desktop (I'm using Windows XP), it saves with the Firefox icon, presumably because I have Firefox as the default application to open my HTML files. Is it possible to have the desktop icon be the favicon.ico file of the web site from which I'm saving the page? Thanks, - Dave
