596 22. Creating Output for the PC

Title Bar

The title bar is the “chrome” border that appears at the top of every window
you use in Windows. You can change the text that is displayed on the title
bar of your show using this Title field.

Use Custom Icon

This option allows you to choose your own custom icon file for the
executable. This icon will appear when someone looks at your executable
file through Windows.

Custom executable files are .ICO files. See your image editor’s
documentation for how you can create .ICO files.

You may select an image file, such as a JPEG, for your icon. To do this,
change the type from Icon Files to Image Files (or All Files) in the
Windows File Open dialog when choosing an icon.

When you select an image other than an .ICO file, ProShow will size the
image down to icon size (32 x 32 pixels and smaller) and create a simple
icon from the file. While this is a great way to quickly change the icon if you
don’t have an icon editor, the quality of this method will usually not match
what can be done with an actual .ICO file.

Professionals looking for a truly polished presentation will want to invest
the time to create an actual .ICO file.

Include About Show

An about show is a very short show that can be added to your executable.
When someone right-clicks on your executable in Windows, they can select
the “About This Show” option from the menu. -You can customize this
menu option name.
When this option is chosen, a short, small show appears. The about show is
best used to show your studio logo, contact information, or website
address.
