Icons for all forms
« on: August 30, 2024, 03:21:26 pm »
How can I show icons on title bars in all forms not just the main form?
I set Icon property but it doesn't work.

What does not work? If I do it here and refer to the proper ico resource it works.
Small example?

I have a Form1 and AboutDlg (TAboutDlg = class(TForm)).

I set an icon in Project -> Project Options.

I also set AboutDlg.ShowInTaskBar := stAlways;

In design time I set an icon for AboutDlg.Icon. When this window shows it doesn't have my icon on the task bar but instead just the default lazarus icon. It also doesn't have any icon in title bar.

Hello.

What graphic server do you use?
Wayland does not allow icons in title bar (nor position of forms on the screen).

Hi,
Menu, Project Options and then load Icon in the application settings should be enough.

You can override this for each form by loading an icon under Icon in the Object Inspector. Then you can show an icon per form.
