How to set custom executable icon using electron-packager?


Entered image

I have successfully built an Electron app. Now I'm trying to change the icon of the .exe that is generated by electron-packager. However, the .exe gets the default Electron icon, not my own icon (see screenshot).

The command I run: npm run build

The corresponding script in package.json:

"build": "electron-packager --out winx64 --overwrite --platform win32 --appname clientlmcenter . --icon my_logo.ico"

The file my_logo.ico is present in the root directory.


Solution

  • You have to put icon argument like this

    --icon=./my_logo.ico
    

    Also make sure the logo is in the current directory where you execute npm run build
