abachus has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Good day ye monks,

I have one simple question, when using TK (in this case on Win32 platforms) on the far left of the title bar sits a 'Tk' logo. I ask, how is it possible to change this to another logo of ones own choice ?

many thanks,

Isaac Close

    This works on linux. 
    #!/usr/bin/perl
use Tk;

my $mw = tkinit;

my $image = 'z-icon.gif';    # 32x32 GIF or BMP

my $icon = $mw->Photo(-file => $image);

$mw->idletasks;        # this line is crucial

$mw->iconimage($icon);
MainLoop;

      In this how to add to increase the dimension of the gif file?
      Am using 200x200 gif file

        Resize the 200x200 gif to 32x32 first. Icons need to be 32x32, unless a module does it automatically for you.

    Hi,

    here is a small addon: Load once and get the Icon for every Toplevel.

    usage: 
    use strict;
use warnings;
use Tk;
use Tk::ToplevelIcon;
tkinit;

MainLoop;
