Set Desktop Icon

[spacetractor]

Is there a way to replace the default java icon? I've tried to make it a boundle app and set the icon on the boundle, but as soon the java program is executed my boundle icon gets replaced by default java icon.

Code: Select all

config.addIcon("imgs/DesktopIcon.png", FileType.Internal);

Is no useful neither, or else I've got that wrong.

Adds a window icon. Icons are tried in the order added, the first one that works is used. Typically three icons should be provided: 128x128 (for Mac), 32x32 (for Windows and Linux), and 16x16 (for Windows).

I only tested it with windows, but providing all three icon sizes worked.

I have no mac, but it works on windows for me.

Would it make a desktop icon for you as well? or just an icon in top of the window frame? I've all those 3 size's so should pick which ever it needs.. Hmm

Ah, ok I think I missunderstood you, so you want that the jar file looks different?

The icon you set in the launcher changes the task bar icon when the program is launched and the small icon in the upper left corner when you have a decorated window for me.

To change the jar file icon you need to wrap it in a platform specific executable and give that one an icon.

For both Win & Mac you have to do as Pinkie Swirl says. For Windows change the EXE icon with a software such as Resource Hacker. For Mac you can use appbundler which allows you to set an icon.

config.addIcon() makes LWJGL call Display.SetIcon() at window creation, which doesn't do anything on Mac OS.

Indeed it does nothing and the comment is that mac osx doesn't have window icons.

Since I don't own one I can just guess that the icon in this bar must be set with the appbundler? Sorry, can't help you any better.
