- When I run my program under Windows Vista, I get a warning message about changing the color scheme to the "Windows Vista Basic". Any clues? - I use Allegro + MinGW + Dev-Cpp in Windows Vista Home Basic.

Any time you run a windowed app that uses hardware acceleration, Vista turns off Aero. It has nothing to do with your program. If you change your theme to Vista Basic permanently, you won't have to deal with that annoyance. --- |

Not any hardware accelerated app. In fact, it's software directdraw apps that don't match the desktop color depth that cause the theme to change. If eating hotdogs is wrong, I don't wanna be right. |

Thanks. - Additionally, is something different on Vista? Dev-Cpp has an option to change the program default icon, but it seems to work only on XP. Does Allegro allow to change the window/program icon?

You can use that to create a .rc file which can be included with your project to create the icon. With Code::Blocks, I just use the add to project option to add the resource file, and it takes crae of everything from there. I'm not sure about Dev-C++. Quote: Dev-Cpp has an option to change the program default icon, but it seems to work only on XP. That's because Dev-C++ is outdated. Try using an IDE that is still maintained.

no, Dev-C++ icon changer should work for Vista. I've used it myself -BlackShark |

It does not work here. How do you do for Vista? I already reinstalled Dev-Cpp and MinGW.
