Title: Icons!
Post by: Jazzza on February 27, 2013, 06:17:57 am
Guns Of Icarus Online lacks program/shortcut icons. I had to find one online because every shortcut on my desktop requires an icon, but it still lacks one in the Steam client too.

Will this be fixed?

Wait, does the game still lack a desctop icon!? what?

...anyways, I've been using this one since beta, so I haven't noticed. You can use it if ya want: (http://picturestack.com/710/45/FLlGoIOsmallV81.ico)

Yeah I've just been launching through steam because of the lack of a desktop icon. Thanks for that one though Spoon, I'll probably download that now

I started using that one after you mentioned it on the forums.

Right click your shortcut. Bottom option "properties". At the bottom of that box, there's a button that says "Change Icon" click it, and paste the following into the text field, or you could browse to this exe.

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Guns of Icarus Online\GunsOfIcarusOnline.exe

(running windows 7 64, your exact EXE location may vary, but it will be in the steamapps\common\Guns of Icarus Online folder, wherever that is.)

And... now you have the icon.

I have had plenty of instances where I had to do that in order to get an icon for a steamapp shortcut. Probably more of a problem with windows/steam interactions than anything that has to do with this game, but who knows. Could be a tiny oversight.

Okay guys, close and re-open Steam in like 20 minutes and try adding a shortcut on your desktop again. You should have an application icon on your desktop!

Good to hear Conrad, though I'll be sticking to mine for nostaglic reasons

Sorry mate, you just made such a bigger impression in the new forums that I almost keep forgetting you were there as well. You know, I actually used to confuse you, Zill and Tim for the same person all the time back then, hehe

I think he did, but the old forum was so inactive that threads several months old were still near the top.
