LÖVE

Hello everyone

Is there a way to change the icon of the finished and merged .exe game file which is shown in the explorer? I already set the icon for the window itself with graphics.setIcon and it works fine for the taskbar and upper left window icon but the explorer icon is still the love default icon.

Sincere regards

For Windows you might have to recompile the source with the new icon, I'm not sure. For OS X you can just stick the icon file inside the application package.

Use a program like Resource Hacker.

And for Linux you cry.

For Linux, you create an .application file that points to an icon.

That's .desktop, as for why, because applications themselves don't have icons.

... because Linux is for teh leet command line haxorz.

For Linux, if you made a .deb file or an install script, the launcher can have whatever icon you want it to have.

Uh, right. My bad. Been Linux-less for the past 4 months.

But they do reside in ~/.share/applications/ or /usr/share/applications/

Kinda works, thanks for this. Btw, what is the simplest way to get .ico files?
