Hi all,

How to replace the default mini icon (usually shown in the
title bar)? I have replace all icons under SOURCE/etc/images/icons
before compile. Thanks.

You need to recompile Emacs.

I replace all the icons in SOURCE/etc/images/icons and then recompile
Emacs. However it still use the original mini icon. Any ideas?

The icon is a xbm pixmap, which is written out as a variable,
gnu_xpm_bits, in src/gnu.h.  You need to convert your desired icon to
xpm, replace gnu_xpm_bits with that, and recompile.  (Except on
Windows, which uses a different system).

(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(icon-type . "/path/to/icon.png"))

Great tip.

I want to re-compile Emacs with the new mini icon. Any comments?

You don't need to recompile if you use this method -- just put the
line in your .emacs file.
