When you first Build your source into a single-file EXE, you get a choice of icons for your app's titlebar. Where do those icons come from? Can I get my mitts on them? I'm looking to simplify my icon-embedding as resource for compiling from inside a project instead of as a standalone source file.

if you look above the icons you see:
C:\Windows\system32\SHELL32.dll

thats where they came from ;) they are ressources of shell32.dll

ah-HAH! Hid them in a DLL, did they? Well, I'll just have to take a peek inside there, then. Thanks, KrYpT!

There are free icon editors out there which would allow someone to create a frog icon.

Thanks, Bruce. Alyce already whipped up a froggie for me. I'll have to lay-in an icon editor, however, if only to have a Complete Toolbox.

Thanks Alyce.

As you probably noticed, i made 2 versions with different resolutions.
first 32*32 and second 64*64

I had to do a trick to get a better image quality.
