Unsolved Help with Icon on Mainwindow using cmake

[shathcock]

I have written several applications in the past using older versions of QT but have just recently installed QT 6 and of course have change from qmake to cmake. I am trying to get an icon to appear next to the title on the window header. I have searched diligently trying to find information on how to achieve this but just keep hitting brick walls. If someone could point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated!!! Thanks

@shathcock Hello, have you looked at this: https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/appicon.html
There is an example for CMake.

@shathcock

AFAIK you can still use Qt resource files, include your icon there and add the resource to your cmake.

• https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/cmake-get-started.html

• Resource system is explained here

@DJaq

This is the App-Icon = "Desktop Icon" = "Icon of your executable". @shathcock was talking about the window icon, I think.

@Pl45m4 HI thanks for the replies yes I was talking about the window icon to start with but I need to know how to incorporate the icon for a windows installation also.
