Hello,
How can i create and place my Icon? Are there rules regarding format and pixels, colours a.s.o.?
You can use free icons available online or use a vector editing program like Illustrator/GIMP (even Photoshop works!) or any other freeware to make your own logo. In the end what you need in Python is a .ico file.
If the software you are using doesn’t allow you to export a .ico then export your logo as .png, search for png to ico converter online and get your ico file.
There are no particular rules that I know of. But there are a lot of guidelines like:
See which ones work best for you.
I usually start with 256x256 pixel because I can always downsize it but not vice-versa.
But if you are sure that you will only need a 32x32 or a 16x16 then start with 64x64 to avoid a significant detail loss.
import clr
clr.AddReference('System.Drawing')
clr.AddReference('System.Windows.Forms')
from System.Reflection import Assembly
from System.Windows.Forms import Form
from System.Drawing import Icon
iconFilename = r'D:\Dynamo_32.ico'
icon = Icon(iconFilename)
form = Form()
form.Text = "Hello World"
form.Icon = icon
form.Show()
OUT = form

A good free online photo editing software is photopea…
And a good place to get icons from for free (mostly free with some caveats) is Icons8…
