Okay, so this technically isn't an OpenVPN question. Sorry. However, maybe
someone can help me out nevertheless as the two programs are linked and I'm
having trouble getting assistance at the openvpn.se site.
Anyway, I'm trying to roll out a customized version of OpenVPN and wanted to
change up the system tray icons from the OpenVPN GUI client. I've replaced
the .ico files (e.g. connected, connecting, disconnected, openvpn-gui) from
the source files, but the old ones still seem to compile. I've searched
everywhere that I could to replace them but haven't had much luck. Are they
compiled somewhere else?
Have you recompiled OpenVPN GUI after you replaced the icons? You have
to... If I recall correctly the icons are compiled into a resource file by
the resource compiler (windres) and after that linked into the
openvpn-gui.exe file.
So you will not be able to replace the icons without recompiling openvpn
gui if you don't find any tool that can "patch" an exe file to replaces
resources like embedded icons.
A quick google on replacing icons in exe files indicates there are such
tools available. Here's one link:
