: : Could you help me create application with 16-bit color icon ?

: Icons can only have 256 colors. That is the way they are coded from the early days of windows. Other than changing windows itself you cannot create a 16-bit color icon.

ive made a 32-bit alpha-transparency icon for my program. i cant remember if selecting it with delphi's project option worked or not (i think it reseted it to 16-bit)... another possibility is to edit the applications resource after compilation and replace MAINICON with the new icon... that will surely work
but replacing the icon in .rc or .res might cause the linker to fail to link it into the executable, because linker expects 16-bit resource that doesnt allow >256 icons, bitmaps etc
i think delphi 7 allows 32bit icons (even 96x96) but you have to put it into a .res file (.rc compiler is still 16-bit
