Yea
Quite open source. Go get the source form Other\Source\AppNamePortable.nsi and 'Compile' it with your new icon.
This is usually a saving problem with ResHack and others. You need to save it as newfile.exe. And I don't know if hacking the launchers works.
hacking the launchers
wont work.
They have a crc check so if you change something for example with res hack it gives you an error.

Thanks for your help but there is another problem...
I changed the icon of Command Prompt Portable with the Nsis technic but I can't change the icon in the title bar of the programm: http://img218.imageshack.us/my.php?image=bnol7.jpg
Built In
It's the Windows Command Prompt. It's built in. You can't change it.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
But another programm.
Another programm in the beta forum called NinjaCommandPortable have a notepad icon there. How can I do the same? http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/618/niwi3.jpg
Custom C
It's custom written in C and not supported by PortableApps.com (and illegally using Microsoft's notepad icon).

Well, they claimed they
Well, they claimed they found an icon that wasn't from Notepad but looked kind of like it, and had no other restrictions. I think they were making an effort. If you know for sure that the one they have violates Microsoft's rights, they'd probably be happy to look for another.

Notepad 2
Probably Notepad 2's icon. If you search the forums, you can find that Notepad 2 is made portable by Thibeaz.

I don't want an icon
I have an icon, I just want to know how to put the icon in the title bar of the Command Promp Portable
Read above.
It's not Command Prompt Portable's icon, it's the command prompt itself.

that icon was not microsoft's

Please search before posting. ~Thanks
Lol,
Well technically, yes it is.
Just because you found it on the internet, and the colours are slightly different, doesn't mean it's not theres. Just as well, if someone created that one from scratch to look almost like MS's, they could still be infringing on MS's original design.
That..
That don't help me. But if you want to laugh, go to my other topic: http://portableapps.com/node/10573
well not that it matters
it wont be supported by PortableApps anyway
...
so i have no reason to change it...
Please search before posting. ~Thanks

I'm trying to modify Portable Command Promp all the time. Ninja command is only a source of inspiration.

If I hack that..
Then if I try to go with my modified portable command promp on another computer, the icon will not be in the title bar I think ?
put that cmd into your portable apps folder
into the apps folder and change the batch files...
Please search before posting. ~Thanks
We wouldn't talk on this
We wouldn't talk on this site about making a version of cmd.exe with the icon resources changed, and taking a copy of it with you to use on other computers. Even if it worked on all computers you came to, we would probably not want to seem to be advocating that sort of thing.
