it has to be a specific size and format, check the original icon to know the specs

To do a test, I edited the icon by default, and it doesn't work too.

But if you do the same, it is working with your project when you do an export of your game?
I tried to do with a new random project, but it doesn't work too.

@Laurent DO you by any chance mean the Icon of the Game EXE? not the one that shows on the taskbar?

Make the Icon in to a PNG,Make sure the size is 16x16,32x32 or 64x64 then onvert it into an ico file
Use Resource Hacker to Change it, The icons are store within the Icon Folder, Select the .ico File to Replace
And if it's Illegal then Why is The Icon to a VX Ace game from 2014 Modified?

For me it works partially. only until the main window pops up, then it turns back into the default icon.
Edit: these might help.

I know you are trying to be helpful, but the query is heading up for 3 years old, so is unlikely to still be open. btw, you are correct in thinking that it is acceptable to change this without breaking the EULA.

@cedr777 You are using MV and this is a thread for VX Ace. It is possible, though I do not know for sure, that you will have to do something slightly different for that engine. If the last suggestion does not work for you, please post a thread in MV Support.
