piczim Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I have recently started learning to program in c. I have written a very basic program its a currency converter. I would like to know how to put an icon into my program so when its on the desktop it looks nice. I am sure there are more important things for a beginner to learn but its nice to have a finished project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
