SDL_WM_SetIcon problem with XP themes

SDL Development
1

Just noted an odd bug.

I call SDL_WM_SetIcon to set my window icon (using a color-keyed 32 bit image)

SDL 1.2.8, Win XP, latest service pack

This works fine IF my overall windows ‘appearance’ is ‘Windows Classic Style’
(i.e . the Win 2K look). But if my overall windows ‘appearance’ is ‘Windows XP
Style’ (i.e. the Win XP default), then the icon is not set for the window.
Interestingly, it’s still correct on the Windows Taskbar either way, just not in
the upper left corner of the window.

Any ideas?

Are you calling SDL_WM_SetIcon() before your first call to SDL_SetVideoMode()?
