How to replace the icon in the top left corner?

Practicalities

[r0x0r]

pywebview extracts and displays application icon from the executable. In other words you specify the application icon via a bundler.

Webview. start (gui='qt '), when the gui is configured as qt, the correct icon cannot be displayed. If it is cef or other parameters, it is normal

@Cqy11223344 Do you get this behaviour when application is frozen? The icon support comes only with frozen apps.

This is my solution. Firstly, this library uses native window handles in the Windows system, so you need to consult the. NET documentation to find the loading method for window icons. Fortunately, there is just a method to load ICO files based on the path.

At this point, you need to make slight changes to the source code by adding the path attribute of the ICO file to the custom window object, and adding code to specify the window icon when creating the window

Create a webview and set 'icon_path'.

webview.create_window('Hello world', html="<div></div>", icon_path=f"{img}/favicon_play.ico")

Now the icon has changed.

I tried to modify it using the above method, but it still doesn't work. You can try calling it using the following method.
webview.start(gui='qt')

======================================
The 'icon_path' variable needs to be declared in the 'create_window' method,otherwise, an error will be reported,
probably at line 246 of the file 'webview/init. py', insert codes declaring variables 'icon_path' like this 'icon_path:str|None=None' .

I have added windows.start(icon=<path_to_icon>) to address QT and partly GTK. The icon is not displayed on Wayland, as you are supposed to specify application icon using other means.

As for other platforms (Window, macOS, Android) icon must be specified when freezing.
