[DUG] Component icon change help

[Jeremy North]

If you have created a DCR file and the dcr file isn't included in the
package the easiest way to get it added to the package is:

1. remove the unit from the package
2. add the unit back to the package

This should then add the DCR file automatically to the package for
you. Your DCR file must be the same name as the Unit you are adding to
the package.

Delphi 2006 and above also support component images in small, medium
and large sizes.

(More info: http://jedqc.blogspot.com/2005/12/d2006-designtime-components-support.html)

If you component doesn't automatically show the updated component it
could just be a cache issue with the palette. You may need to restart
Delphi for it to be recognised.

cheers
