Description Shinobu Maehara 2008-01-24 11:30:55 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.0.0)
Installed from:    MS Windows Binaries
OS:                MS Windows

On Windows, executables should have an icon and a version resource.
See e.g. "VERSIONINFO Resource" in the SDK for version information. For the icon, Windows uses the first icon resource, if my memory serves me well. Take care that the icon contains images at different sizes and bit-depths. At least the following sizes will need to be present: 16x16 (small icons, columns, details), 32x32 (large icons), 48x48 (large icons, with separate large icons setting activated). Required bit-depths (color+mask): 4+1 and 8+1, but you'll probably want 1+1 and 24+8 as well.

this is a known problem
Comment 2 Christian Ehrlicher 2008-01-28 21:36:22 UTC 
There're already macros which can add icons - they just have to be used everywhere -> will be done when the specific maintainer wants to do it.
