>>Hi,

>>It is not true that you need to have an icon of size 72x72 inorder to have more than 16 colours. I have icons of size 16x16 that have 256 colours. As far as I know, icon used as project icon needs to contain one icon of size 16x16 and 32x32 in one icon file which must have only 16 colours.

>>>This isn't a VFP issue necessarily. In order to support more than 16 colors, the icon must be at least 72x72.


George,

His article states:

"While Windows imposes no restrictions on the sizes of icons, common sizes include 16, 32, and 48 pixels square. For this reason, developers are encouraged to include a minimum of the following sizes and color depths in their icon resources:

16 x 16 16 colors
32 x 32 16 colors
48 x 48 256 colors "
