Method Detail

main

public static void main(java.lang.String[] args)
                 throws java.lang.Exception

Replace the Desktop icons provided in the Windows executable program with matching icons provided by the user.

Takes 2 arguments argument 0: the Windows executable e.g c:/eclipse/eclipse.exe argument 1: The .ico file to write to the given executable e.g. c:/myApp.ico

Note 1. Write access to the executable program is required. As a result, that program must not be currently running or edited elsewhere.

Note 2. The Eclipse 3.4 launcher requires an .ico file with the following 7 images (in any order). 1. 48x48, 32 bit (RGB / Alpha Channel) 2. 32x32, 32 bit (RGB / Alpha Channel) 3. 16x16, 32 bit (RGB / Alpha Channel) 4. 48x48, 8 bit (256 colors) 5. 32x32, 8 bit (256 colors) 6. 24x24, 8 bit (256 colors) 7. 16x16, 8 bit (256 colors)

Note 3. The Eclipse 4.2 launcher requires an .ico file with the following 7 images (in any order). 1. 256x256, 32 bit (RGB / Alpha Channel) 2. 48x48, 32 bit (RGB / Alpha Channel) 3. 32x32, 32 bit (RGB / Alpha Channel) 4. 16x16, 32 bit (RGB / Alpha Channel) 5. 48x48, 8 bit (256 colors) 6. 32x32, 8 bit (256 colors) 7. 16x16, 8 bit (256 colors)

A user icon matching exactly the width/height/depth of an executable icon will be written to the executable and will replace that executable icon. If an executable icon does not match a user icon, it is silently left as is.

Note 4. This function modifies the content of the executable program and may cause its corruption.

java.lang.Exception - www

java.io.IOException - eee
