what do you mean by a program that has an icon for it.
what kind of program are trying to make.

i mean what if i want my program have a special icon 4 it that is defferant from the default icon

i need the method 4 this 4 both windows and linux

can anybody help me plez??

we are not a windows support forum here, so you'll have to look for the windows answer elsewhere.

as for the GNU/Linux program, you have to give us more information.

since we are discussing an icon problem I assume this is a GUI program, what kindof GUI program exactly, are you developing a Gnoma application?? or a KDE application??
or maybe you're just using a widgit library like GTK+ or QT??
or maybe its a pure X11 program, there are hundreds of libraries and hundreds of ways to make GUI programs in GNU/Linux you have to tell us what you are trying to do.

I assume by the Icon you mean the Icon that is displayed when the program is running in taskbars and such right??

cheers,
Alaa

No alaa, He meant that the executable itself carry icons and the 1st icon in the executable is displayed as the application icon "as windows do"
you embed the icon INTO the executable itself.
i don't know if the linux ELF format allow this or not. probably i'll check, but don't count on that ;-)
