You need to go to Tools > Add a resource. Select your icon and give it a name (doesn't matter what, I just use 1033 because that was what I got when I looked at other Blitz3D exe's).

Why isn't it possible to link a .res file to main .exe file? Never used a windows compiler/language before that doesn't include this ability...

I'm working on a tool that will be available soon, that will make it possible to add icons to blitzmax exes. It's on betatesting now. I'll make you know any advance in this issue.
