A lot. Use resources instead.

I've always wondered, how do you go about creating a resource file?

I am thinking to try to solve this bug, but I need time. Now just hard
code or use the free apps available

I am able to get the form icon to match the .exe icon, using antonio's
code. However this seems to make the .exe icon a very low resolution.
What can be done about this?

I see that none of the forms in lazarus have the default Windows Icon,
how can I replace that in my programs with the main exe icon for my
program?

I noticed that in the form file (lfm) there is a long string of Hex
values, under icon.data, could these be useful?

I posted here as it's a similar problem, and it seemed silly to create
a new thread.

Also, is there an ETA for marc implementing icons?

EDIT: After a bit of experimentation, I have concluded that you cant
really change the Hex values to anything but hat they start out as, I
get an error complaining about how it can't create the object or
executable of my .exe file.
