Slick Forums

Ok, I've been looking around for an answer to this but haven't found anything specific to the problem I'm having. The API says the setIcon method takes in a String reference to the image but is there a restriction on the image type? I ask because I can't seem to get any icon to be set. My main method creates a AppGameContainer which calls a class called Game that extends BasicGame. I want to set the icon in the AppGameContainer right? Not the GameContainer in the init() method in Game? If I set it in AppGameContainer the default windows icon appears (not the lwjgl one) but the icon I specified doesn't appear. I'm on windows and am creating a java application, no web start or anything.

Maybe your icon has the ending *.ico?

You may only use: PNG, GIF, JPG and 'TGA' (with some restrictions)

I've been trying .PNG, .GIF, and .JPG with no success, they set the icon and the default lwjgl one doesn't appear, but the one I set it to doesn't appear either. It's just the default windows no icon program icon.

well the file SHOULD BE a png. not just have the ending And also is the size of your icon correct?

Yes, I am saving it as a .PNG in photoshop, it definitely is a .PNG. I noticed in the lwjgl javadocs it says Windows programs should provide both a 32x32 and 16x16 size icon. By providing both, does that mean you have to use setIcons(String[] refs) instead of just setIcon(String ref)? I've tried all combinations, using setIcons() with both sizes, setIcon() with a 32x32 .PNG, setIcon() with a 16x16 .PNG, still no luck. Only thing I can think of is that the icon image isn't being found for some reason, but using the same string ref I can assign it to an image, render it on the screen, and it'll show up fine.

Maybe I can help, I had this problem for a while too. What you need to do is save the files as *.tga files. Make sure you create one of each: 32x32, 24x24, and 16x16. Then you just do

where "NxN.tga" is the filename of the image relative to the working directory

Still nothing, mind sending me an example of a working icon you know works? Maybe it's just CS5 or something.

EDIT: Ah, nevermind they have to be 32 bit .tga, not 24 bit. Thanks so much, finally got it working.

I've gotten a problem like this.


the error


Thanks

EDIT: moving a.start() to before the setIcons call removed the crash, but the icons aren't showing either :/
