    By default (VC6), app icon is in 16 color only. How to use/change the app icon with full color? BTW: for VC6 environment. Thanks. .

      After opening the icon in the icon editor, select New Image Type from the Image menu. Here you can find all the color depths that are available. If you do not see what you want, you can do one of the two. Upgrade to a newer version of Visual Studio. VS 2010 supports upto 32-bit icons. Or you can edit the icon file using an external application like MS-Paint or Photoshop. You do this after creating the icon from VC in the res sub-folder.
