I've created an app which minimizes to the system tray and it's working fine, but regardless of any modifications I make to the .ico files in the project the icon in the system tray remains the default one, what'm I doing wrong?

I've tried editing them in VS2005 as well as GIMP, and I'm just baffled.
 
Well, the first step is make sure your changes to the icon are saved.

Second is to do a "Rebuild All" to make sure they get included in the res file.
 
From my minimal searching, I think there's something funky with the VS2005 icon editor, cause I took those steps.

Switched to GIMP, and made sure to edit all the layers and now things are working fine.
