SDL_Window * window: the window to change. SDL_Surface * icon: an SDL_Surface structure containing the icon for the window.

Oct 11, 2013 · You should be able to get a SDL_Surface from a .png file using: SDL_Surface *IMG_Load(const char *file) then pass it to your SDL_SetWindowIcon(SDL_Window* window, SDL_Surface* icon) method. I don't think the IMG_Load(...) method takes .ico files, but a 32x32 .png version of your icon should work.

Feb 9, 2023 · I am trying to achieve this by using SDL_SetWindowIcon(): SDL_Surface* icon = IMG_Load("icon.png"); SDL_SetWindowIcon(sdlWindow, icon); Even if my window is correctly initialized and the surface is loaded, the icon does not appear in the task bar or in the Alt-Tab switcher.

Win32 icons must be 32x32. This function must be called before the first call to SDL_SetVideoMode. The mask is a bitmask that describes the shape of the icon. If mask is NULL, then the shape is determined by the colorkey of icon, if any, or makes the icon rectangular (no transparency) otherwise.

SDL_WM_SetCaption -- Sets the window tile and icon name. Sets the title-bar and icon name of the display window.

Use this function to set the icon for a window.

In SDL 2.0, setting the window icon with SDL_SetWindowIcon is a nice platform-independent way of doing it, but on Windows it is a pain. Short of editing the SDL source directly, there is no way to instruct SDL to use an icon that is already embedded in the EXE.

Jul 25, 2023 · Problem : I am trying to give an icon to my SDL2 application. SDL2 have a function named SDL_SetWindowIcon(), but the problem is the function only set the icon in the window app not in the .exe fil...
