Hi All,

Why do icons that i've installed in a program at their 16x16 resolution show up in the bigger 32x32 on some computers?

I've figured out how to stop it (editing the icon) but i'd just like to know why....

Thanks
 
It depends on what screen resolution they've set. Windows, in some cases, will use a larger icon automatically. Best thing to do is make sure your .ico file has both the 16x16 and 32x32 resolutions in it, so that you don't get the jaggies.

Chip,

The icons i used were both 16x16 and 32x32 but it was with these icons I got the problem, the resolution on both PC's were the same.

I'd like not to go through the tedious process of editing all the icons I use to be only 16x16 (what i need.)

Is there any way I can lock the icon to a specific size?
