Summary: New Windows Icon

Initial Comment:
This needs a better Windows Icon for the Desktop and 
Startmenu. Here is one I made, please feel free to use 
it or modify it as needed. This will help the game 
port look more polished.

For future versions as well, if there'll be any. Not as
simple as it sounds...

Ok now I see the two different versions. Yours requires 
installing SDL_Perl. That is a pain. Everything the program 
needs should be included with the installer.

My version doesn't contain frozen-bubble.exe. You're
probably talking about fbe-win32 and not fb-win32. That's
another version, based on mine, that's compiled into an
executable using perlcc, if I recall correctly. My version
contains an icon with a 48x48 version.

As for the second window, its Perl's. Maybe one day, when
I'll release another version, I'll get rid of that somehow.

(My apologizes, forget the last comment, I was on a 
different account - a user account in XP when I posted that 
and no icon is shown there but there is one when using an 
Admin account.)

Back to my first comment - Yes there is an icon but it does 
not look very good. I looked through the installation files 
and there is a better one in \Frozen-Bubble\gfx\icon.ico

The one on the desktop is from \Frozen-Bubble\frozen-bubble.
exe. It looks like two gears and a bubble. The first one I 
mentioned is higher res with the penguin mascot and two 
colored bubbles. That one would look much better as the 
desktop icon.

Also this program loads two windows, one in the background 
that looks like a command line. There should be only one. 
Why does it do this and can you get rid of the other window?

What exactly do you mean by changing the installation path?
Selecting another directory but the default "C:\Program
Files\Frozen Bubble" in the installer's directory page? And
if  the icon doesn't show just on the desktop, why did you
mention the start menu in the original comment?

In the current build after installation the desktop 
shortcut in Windows XP does not display an icon if you 
change the installation path.

Hmm... The icon already contains a 48x48 version. Why add
another one?
