Ok, just for FreezingFire, I give one more little tid-bit....

VDS 5 supports multi-res icons. You can have an icon that contains a
16x16 icon with 16 color, 256 color, True color, and then also have a
32x32 icon with the same color setup, and a 48x48 etc....

Does it also has an Icon Editor?

Are you sure about that Garret? The last time I spoke with ED he told me VDS 5 doesn't support multi-res icons, but it supports different resolution icons 48x48 etc which are single icons, not multipe icons in one .ico (multi-res).

Here's a multi-res icon if you want one:

[ link removed by moderator - hacking/cracking not supported on this board ]

I don't want to stir up anything, but you're trying to tell me that it's illegal
to change the icon in my own programs? I disagree with all of ya.
I wrote or write the program, therefore I can modify it anyway that I see fit.

No - that's why I said usually. The problem wasn't with changing
your own program - it was posting a link to a hacking tool that
allows ya to modify someone else's.

I don't think the link was removed because of being able to replace the
icon in your program. I assumed it was removed because the link was
to a cracked version of a program that could replace the icon in your
pogram. But I can't be sure because the link had been removed before
I saw this post.

Garrett,

It's freeware. In the description/helpfile they cleary say: It's a resource editor, and yes you also can change the version description.. or add: like website or mailadres. I respect that that you might treat it as "Hacker tool" but that was not the intention...

The discussion was about icons... this is what i use to resolve that problem. Exclamation

Changing an icon in your own program certainly is not illegal. I'm not sure who removed the link but there must have been a valid reason. Having the name 'resource hacker' as your software/program's name really doesn't help it gain legitimacy either and may have been the reason it was removed.
