Restrictions on icons?

[Cees De Groot]

We are polishing the L&F of our app, one of the things is to replace
the window icon (WxTopLevelFrame>>setIcon).

The old icon was a simple xpm, the new one a nice shiny png. Both are
32x32, but nevertheless nothing shows when using the new icon (using
"WxIcon fromImage: (WxImage ....)").

Are there any restrictions on what is acceptable?

TIA,

Cees

Not according to the docs, but I just tried a png your way, and got
nothing. Try using something like

aBitmap := WxBitmap fromImageFile: path.
anIcon := WxIcon new.
anIcon copyFromBitmap: aBitmap.

For some reason, this seems to work better.

Better, but not perfect - my particular Icon (attached) does render
this way, but mangled...
