    I define and put ICON at my .pro file and .icns file at Resources/icons directory.
    But it does work.
    When I run the app, the icon on docker is transparent in MacOS.
    My project zip link is here.

    ICON +=
    Resources/icons/app.icns

    My control initialization code is:
    void Initialize::LoadControlls(Text2PcapWidget *win) {
    win->setWindowFlags(Qt::Dialog);
    win->setFixedSize(UI_SIZE_WIDGET_WIDTH, UI_SIZE_WIDGET_HEIGHT);
    //win->setWindowIcon(QIcon(":/icons/icons/app.icns"));
    }

      As it says in the documentation: https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/appicon.html
      Since you are using qmake and your PRO file does not already contain a Windows resource (RC) file:

      win32: RC_ICONS = Resources/icons/app.ico
      macx: ICON = Resources/icons/app.icns
      

      Your current PRO file uses "+=" rather than "=" , which may be a problem (I have no Mac)

      The icon above is not the same thing as the window icon your code tried to set with setWindowIcon(): generally that will default to the application icon but it can be overridden. Your Mac .icns file should be at ":/icons/app.icns" if I am (manually) reading your qrc file correctly.

        Thanks very much for your help.
        When I use the below ICON resources without '+' in .pro file, the app's icon is transparent(just like the picture below).
        ICON =
        Resources/icons/app.icns

        When I comment the Resource ICON code in .pro file and use the, the app's icon is altransparent(just like the picture below).

        win->setWindowIcon(QIcon(":/icons/app.icns"));

          maybe the icns is not suitable?
