MinGW/GCC, the compiler which Code::Blocks RC2 comes with and for which Code::Blocks is designed, is the exact same compiler that Dev-C++ uses, so any differences in file size are a result of different settings, which can always be changed. In order to create smaller executables, make sure debug symbols are not being generated (the "-g") option, and enable the "Strip all symbols from binary" option ("-s"). If you're a real size freak, you could also use the "Optimize for size" option ("-Os").

Ah, that did the trick for the size! Thanks so much  :) (btw, I also figured out by now how to display the window without command prompt... had to change the mode from "Debug" to "Release".)

You can also change the target type from Console Application to GUI.
That way you can also use the Debug target without the console.
