If you work with the base classes, you have to change the icon for each form, one by one. This is one of many reasons why you should only work with subclasses.

Personally I have one "personal" vcx which contains subclasses of every control that can be subclassed visually. In this class I have add a few properties and methods, and changed them according to my needs and preferences.

When I start a new project, I make another vcx specific for this project where each control is subclassed from my "personal" vcx. In this vcx I will typically change the icon for the form, so that every new form will have this icon as its default.
