Changing icons in Windows Tcl Starpacks

Created Starpack will have default Tcl icons and you can see them in different view modes of Windows explorer (table, large icons…). This approach is based on <a href="http://wiki.tcl.tk/10922">http://wiki.tcl.tk/10922%3C/a%3E receipt, but is in Makefile target form. And uses tools: <a href="http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/">reshacker.exe</a>,&nbsp; <a href="http://upx.sourceforge.net/">upx.exe</a> and windres.exe from <a href="http://www.mingw.org/">MinGW</a> installation (at $MINGWHOME/bin/windres.exe), also supposes that you are using <a href="http://code.google.com/p/tclkit/">tclkit.exe</a> as runtime. In my case I have application rfprg and "virtual" FS (catalog) - rfprg.vfs. And I have all these tools in the same catalog (with tclkit.exe). I created there the rfprg.rc file:

APPICONS ICON "rfprg.vfs/tclkit.ico"
TK ICON "rfprg.vfs/tclkit.ico"

Then I added next target into my Makefile:

icons:
	cp tclkit.exe tclkit1.exe
	upx.exe -d tclkit1.exe
	reshacker.exe -delete tclkit1.exe , tclkit2.exe , icongroup,,
	windres.exe -i rfprg.rc -o rfprg.res -J rc -O res -r
	reshacker.exe -add tclkit2.exe , tclkit3.exe , rfprg.res , ,,
	upx.exe tclkit3.exe
	mv tclkit3.exe tclkit.exe
	rm rfprg.res tclkit2.exe tclkit1.exe

And them: make icons. This will replace "system" icons of tclkit.exe with rfprg.vfs/tclkit.ico. So you can use this "patched" tclkit.exe runtime to create Starpack with your custom icon.
