asbo Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 I've been using the attached LabVIEW icons for a while now so that I can tell each version of LabVIEW apart when it's in the taskbar or Alt+TAB menu. Does anyone know who made them originally and whether there exists one for LabVIEW 2011 (or LabVIEW 8.6)? LV2009.ico LV2010.ico Quote Link to comment

asbo Posted October 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Thanks - I always forget to check the NI forums... I'm disappointed blawson doesn't have a 2011 icon, I'd like them all to be a similar style. Guess it might be time to dust off Photoshop. 1 Quote Link to comment
BrentonLang Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 I have to say...that is a fantastic idea!!! Thanks asbo. Quote Link to comment
asbo Posted October 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Okay, so I made a new 2011 icon based off of blawson's style and probably will make another for 2012 when I have some more idle time. Applying these icons is pretty straight-forward; I use Resource Hacker which works for all the 32-bit LV executables I've tried so far (and automatically makes a backup). 1) Open up the victim executable in Resource Hacker. 2) From the menu bar select Action > Replace Icon. 3) Click the Open... button and select your icon of choice. 4) Make sure group 1 is selected in the listbox on the right, this is the ordinal of the main LV icon. 5) Click Replace, save your EXE, and you're done!
