How to add icons for iphone and ipad in cocos2d for universal app?
If you put an icon file in your resources folder in xcode and name it icon.png then that will be the icon that will appear for the user to select to run your application on the iphone/ipod/ipad.
Same goes if you put another file in the resources folder and name it default.png then it will show up as the splash screen that appears while your application is being loaded.
Note: If you are working with a template it will probably already have canned files with these names. Just remove them from the resource folder in xcode and add the new ones. To add the files to your project, drag them into the resource folder within xcode and select the check box for: "Copy items into destination group's folder (if needed)", as well as, make sure in add targets section only the check box for your application name is checked and the radio button "Recursively create groups for any added folders" is selected. This will copy the file(s) into your project directory and they will also appear in the resources folder in xcode. You can then click on them in xcode to see that they are correct.
As a bonus here is a link for a post talking about good places for icons and sounds too:

When you create a new Cocos2d Application from the "Cocos2d Template". it has Icon files (e.g. Icon.png,Icon-72.png etc). If you replace them with your icons, you are well to go.

I'm Confused about set the application icon.
I have seen many explanations about set the application icon, but I'm still not understand.
Please I want a simple explanation, but step by step to understand it
What I have done:
I have created a Qt resource file(.qrc).
Then, I have added a prefix, then I have added the Icon file.
Then, from design mode and from property block I have changed the a property called windowIcon.
Then I have selected the Icon which I added before in the .qrc file.
Notice: I'm use Qt5.3 and windows 7.
Now, Please what is the right steps to set the application icon ?
You have done the right thing to set the main window icon. Just setting windowIcon property in the designer will set an icon for the application window.
For setting an icon to the application executable file there is an automated process In Qt 5.
You can just add the following to the .pro file:
win32: RC_ICONS = myIcon.ico
Also store the .ico file in your application's source code directory.
Note that this is only for Windows. There are other ways to set application icon in Linux and Mac.
I have an MFC application. When the application is launched, I see it is represented on the taskbar using the MFC logo. Also, the application Window Menu Bar has the MFC icon.
How can I replace these with custom made logos?
The icons are in the .ico file that is part of your project. Usually in the /res directory. You can edit them or replace them with files you generate.
The icon file is stored with your project files.
Go to <Projects Folder>\SOLUTIONNAME\PROJECTNAME\res. When you locate this folder, there should be a PROJECTNAME.ico file. rename the ico file you created to PROJECTNAME.ico. Next time you build your project, the MFC icon should be replaced with your custom icon.
I recommend going to this site mostly because it does not require any registration and its 100% free.
You can then fine a suitable icon for your program bu searching keywords.
Then select the .ICO type and download.
Copy the .ico file to your “res” folder.
Then delete the .ico file and rename the downloaded file to .ico.
Is possible force Xcode to create folder, instead only some logical group? I need to do project and have some folder structure, like NET classes in net folder, etc., so then including header files and writing makefile must be compatible with this structure.I don't know how to create real folder in xcode. It creates only some logical groups and sources are in one physical folder, so for example two files, names Connection, can't coexists, even if their classes are in different namespace and they should be in different folders("packages").
Right click, "Add files...", click "New Folder", and select the folder. Will this work for your needs?
Alternatively, just create the folder in the finder and drag it into the source list.
Either way, just make sure you click "Create folder references for any added folders" rather than "Create groups for any added folders".
Using Indigo and a managed build C++ project, I right-clicked on a source file and selected Resource Configurations->Exclude From Build..., and the file promptly disappears. Scrolling down shows it at the bottom of the list of source files with a new dimmed icon. Now how do I get it back? The Reset to Default... option is always dimmed out. Right-clicking on the excluded file still only shows the Exclude From Build... option. Is there an Include in Build option somewhere? I realize I can go to .cproject file and manually edit it back in but I figure there must be a way to do it from the IDE.
Yes this is an old question. But people do go looking for answers years later..
There's an easy way, but it's counter intuitive. Right click the excluded item, select "exclude from build", and on the dialog that appears, uncheck the builds for which you'd like the item back. Note the convenient 'Deselect All' button.
In eclipse there's not a similar way to reinclude resource, like:
Resource Configuration -> Reinclude from build
You need to go in Project Proprerties (Alt+Enter) and go:
C/C++ General -> Paths and Symbols
Select tab
Source Location
and expand your project's folder: here you can select filter that you want to remove and click on "Edit Filter" and then "Remove".
While I still don't know how get back a file that's been excluded. I have discovered that it's much better to just add a new folder, and then mark the folder as excluded. Then files can be excluded by dragging them into this folder and included back by dragging them back to the original folder.
I want to change the default .exe icon to some other icon in C/C++. Does anybody know how to do that?
Already answered.
Change app icon in Visual Studio 2005?
You have to place your .ico file in the resources folder first of course.
Use this one: http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/
Since you specified that you are using VS2008 I can point you here: How do I set the icon for my application in visual studio 2008? (duplicate question)
On Windows, if the executable contains many icons, the 1st of them will be the default.
If you have icons resource in your programming environment, place the icon you want first in the list.
Edit: since you created an empty project, to add an icon, follow these instructions:
(as I said in my comment, I don't have VS2008, but the steps should be the same)
Menu: Insert -> Resource -> Import
Select "Icon", press the import button and select your icon file.
Now, close the icon editor, and save the resource script in the project folder.
Select "Files View" and add the resource script file in the "Resource Files".
That's it.
if you are using any ide like dev c++, then you can specify the icon you want to appear on your file in project options
