Creating a Custom Icon for Your Help File

To display your own icon instead of the standard Help icon when users minimize the Help window with your Help file open, you can include the ICON option in the [OPTIONS] section of the Help project file:

ICON=icon-file

Icon-file is the name of an icon file you have created with the Microsoft Windows Icon Editor or a similar tool. It can be an absolute path or a path relative to the Help project directory.

For example, the following entry in the Help project file uses a custom icon:

[OPTIONS]
ICON=hyper.ico

This icon appears when the Help window is minimized, as shown in Figure 13.7.
