Re: What's going on with increasing exe filesize?
Answering my own question here.
Just read this in the Gambas beginers guide...

Re: GForm , zenity like gui maker for shell scripts using pipe to talk to script.

GForm-geticons.png That shows all the available stock icons and their names. then knowing the name you ca...
