I have converted my Script Dialog to a Script Package. I am trying to understand how to change the icon it displays to one that represents what my Script Dialog does. I am thinking that the icons that are included in the \*.osp package can be used for this. The picture points to and describes which icon I want to change. If anybody has an example of a script that does change it could you please share. Thanks ![chngIco](https://resource.dopus.com/uploads/default/original/3X/2/7/2759c1f97e6d2c7749c90ea0088db78bb7193d5d.png) ---

I don't think the window icon for a script dialog can be changed at the moment. ---

We've added a way for you to do this in the [12.10.4 Beta](https://resource.dopus.com/t/directory-opus-12-10-4-beta/30667). ---

> Opus 12.10.4 (beta) > Added **DOpus.LoadImage** and **Script.LoadImage** methods which allow external image files and icons to be loaded by a script. **Script.LoadImage** can also load an image from a script package when it's placed inside a sub-directory called **images**. These methods both return an **Image** object, which can be displayed by a static control in a script dialog by assigning it to the **label** property of the **Control** object. An **Image** object loaded from a .ico file can also be used as the icon for a script dialog by assigning it to the **icon** property of the **Dialog** object. Can we have an example to add icon to icon property please ---

Here you go. This example adds a command called `CatDialog`. The .osp file has the images in it as well as the script file. [catdlg.osp](https://resource.dopus.com/uploads/default/original/3X/6/0/6039e82134e12ba6ee83504c053533720e7de68a.osp) (30.2 KB) ```vbscript Option Explicit ' catdlg ' (c) 2018 jpotter ' This is a script for Directory Opus.

This is a super cool feature of this super cool program. I am not surprised, because Directory Opus, its staff, and it's a community just **give give give**. You guys are so great! ---

And it's not possible to add icon/image in a button script (OnClick function)? ---

> [@AlbatorV](#): > > And it's not possible to add icon/image in a button script (OnClick function)? The filepath to the icon can be a file anywhere on the machine so I don't see why you couldn't, as long as you put the icon file somewhere. ---

> [@AlbatorV](#): > > And it's not possible to add icon/image in a button script (OnClick function)? I think this should nail it for you. Make a directory called "C:\temp", place the icon folder there. Note the path in the script. If you need any help getting it to work just shout.

Thanks but it failed for me.

You need to use `Set` in VBScript to store the icon object which `LoadImage` loads, i.e. `Set icon = DOpus.LoadImage(...` Also, just use one `\` in path strings in VBScript. You only need `\\` in JScript. (Although it might not matter, it could confuse things as well.) ---

> [@AlbatorV](#): > > With this script, no icon is display. I am not positive, but I don't think that type of dialog can take advantage of the update. The description states that it can be used in a script package and a script dialog. I tried to add to your code with no luck either. I think you need an answer as to can that standard dialog use this feature. ---

Don't work 😕 Sorry but what's wrong ? ```auto Function OnClick(ByRef clickData) Set icon = DOpus.LoadImage("C:\DO.ico") Set dlg = DOpus.Dlg dlg.window = clickData.func.sourcetab dlg.message = "<- customize this icon" dlg.title = "Test" dlg.buttons = "Possible ?" dlg.icon = icon dlg.Show End Function ```
