Has the image a palette? I couldn’t make icons work until I found this
requirement deep in the documentation or the code itself, I don’t

This is so that you can give the iconified version of a program a different
title than what’s in the window bar (when the program is not iconified).

e.g., you could say normally: "Super Game, © Bill Kendrick - Level 32!"
and when it’s iconified, just “Super Game”

I’m not sure if this is even applicable on Windows.

Are you making sure the image is 32x32 ?

 SDL_WM_SetIcon(SDL_LoadBMP("dreamsicon.bmp"), NULL);

works for me…
dreamsicon.bmp is 32x32, 24bit, [windows/RGB encoding (not that this should
affect SDL_LoadBMP)]

Cheers,
John

it’s working … sorry but i think the function change the icon on top left
of window but only icon change is in the task bars :-/

sorry for the thread …

(make sdl under windows to change also the top left icon ? the standard icon
is anonimous :-/)

God bless all
