Would it be possible to make a function so the user can make a BMP with several pictures and then select it in mIRC to have an animated icon ?
As of now you can only change the icon to a .ico file and after that it wont be animated.
The only way I know how to change it now is with Resource Hacker.

Sounds like a good idea...

I like the mIRC icon as it is but would not be bad to have it animated too..

The existing one but in 3D with a glossy surface would be good...

The mIRC tray icon IS animated

The default one is, but he's suggesting being able to use custom icons for the animations.

My post was to that comment by Funchatter, who doesn't seem to have known from the way that reads.
