Hi all,
This sounds like a really basic problem, but about 5 of us spend at least an hour trying to figure it out with no results, so here goes.
I'm trying to make an icon for an NSIS installer, and because NSIS is restricted to 16 colours, the icon needs a custom palette so it doesn't look really bad. We've tried just doing a 32x32x16 colour bitmap and saving t as a .ico, NSIS doesn't like it. We've used two different icon editing packages, but we can't seem to get custom palettes working properly. We've actually got an icon from an old project that works fine, and gets accepted into NSIS, but we can't remember how it was made!
If anyone's got the ABC of NSIS icon creation (and I'm talking press this button, choose this menu type depth) I'd be very grateful if you could get in touch! Cheers.
