Deletions are marked like this. Additions are marked like this.
Line 1: Line 1:
Icons are added as {{{icon_resources}}}
Line 3: Line 2:
{{{
setup(
    windows = [
        {
            "script": "with_gui.py",
            "icon_resources": [(1, "myicon.ico")]
        }
    ],
)
}}}

The same practice works as well for {{{console}}} and {{{windows}}} scripts.
The resource number does not seem to matter. Windows just takes the first existing icon.

/!\ if somebody knows how to add small and large icons, speak up...

Hm, doesn't the {{{.ico}}} file contain them?

does the resource number refers to the icon's index in the {{{.ico}}} file (if containing > 1 icons) ?

'''How to add small and large icons'''

You must create ico file with two icons in one.
Your icon file must contain small ico (size: 16*16 pixels) and large ico (size: 32*32 pixels). For WindowsXP you probably may create a big ico (48*48) - but it's only for XP.
Almost all popular icon editors can create complex icon with small and large part in one. For instance, [http://www.x2studios.com/index.php?page=products&id=11 LiquidIcon] is a freeware icon editor that lets you combine multiple ico files of different sizes and bit-depths into a single ico file.

Now I've managed to give an icon to my program, but when the program starts, a standard Windows icon shows up in the window's title bar and in the task bar button (instead of my custom icon). Is there a way I can fix that myself, or is that a current limitation of py2exe?
