But what pixel resolution should the system.gif file be? Should it be 16 x 16 or 32 x 32?

You can use frame.getIconImage() to get the default one and check its size, but there are probably better solutions :-)

well, actually I don't remember the size ... :) but I suppose that every Image object will be automatically resized.

Hi,<br />
<br />
I would like the icon for the system menu of a JFrame changed to my own custom icon. What I need to know is what kind of image file I need for the icon. Can a .GIF file do? And what resolution should it be?<br />
<br />
Also, suppose my java application runs on a Windows system, and I want to create a custom desktop icon to launch my application. How do I make that icon? From what I can tell from a normal .EXE program, the icon is stored inside the .EXE file.

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
