customize dialog

fraction's icon

hi,
there's no way to customize icon for dialog object, isn't it? ... just being able to get ride of max icon or replace it would be great.

sure one can do so.
If you mentioned which platform you use,
one could even post some instructions ...

i m on mac os, and windows actually.

But i have checked possible message/arguments, help and reference, so if there's any hidden secret for customize the max icon that is there by default, please let know :)

there is this custom icon setting in standalone inspector
but I never used that, maybe you want to try that first.
Instead on Mac I edit plist file to use my own icon,
and on windows I use freeware resource hacker to replace
default max icons.
You can safely remove all document icons if you don't want them too.
App icon is on top...
------
But if you want to replace the icon in max itself, then
you have to mod Max icon itself, because that is what dialog object is using.

-------
one can also make own dialogs using bpatchers

ok, the thing i didn't know is that the standalone was using the app icon. It makes sens. Thanks for that info, i thought that the icon was perhaps managed inside the dialog external code.

Yes, for the rest i know how it works.

thx a lot!

Is there a way to change the dialog icon in a normal patch and not just in a standalone? Thx!

A described above.
If you are on windows, then use resource editor
to replace Max icon.
