RE: [pygame] Problem with set_icon - image is distorted on taskbar

["Brian Bull" <Brian.Bull@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks, that would be much appreciated.

The icon is at http://orbquest.googlecode.com/files/icon.bmp

Here is a test script:

=============

import pygame
from pygame.locals import * 

pygame.init()    
pygame.display.set_mode((400,300)) 
pygame.display.set_caption("test")
icon = pygame.image.load("icon.bmp").convert()
icon.set_colorkey((0,0,0))
pygame.display.set_icon(icon)        

while 1:  
    pass 

=============
 
Cheers, Brian
