Adding Icons

[bijan311]

I have tried doing

MY_ICON ICON "C:\users\bijan\pictures\program icons\icon.ico"

MY_ICON ICON "C:\users\bijan\pictures\program icons\icon.ico"

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

but the icon only shows up in the desktop but it doesn't show up in the actual program (you can see what I mean in the attachments).
I have also tried

QApplication::setWindowIcon(QIcon(" C:\users\bijan\pictures\program icons\icon.ico"));

QApplication::setWindowIcon(QIcon(" C:\users\bijan\pictures\program icons\icon.ico"));

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

but that distorts the picture.

Thank you in advance

Did you add the icon file to your application.qrc in Creator?

To set the application icon have look at : http://qt.nokia.com/doc/4.6/appicon.html

The icon of the executable file is the one used by a shortcut or by windows explorer.
Create a file called appIcon.rc with the following:

IDI_ICON1      ICON    DISCARDABLE     "appIcon.ico"

IDI_ICON1      ICON    DISCARDABLE     "appIcon.ico"

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

And then add this line to your *.pro file:

RC_FILE = appIcon.rc

RC_FILE = appIcon.rc

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

To set the window icon (the one visible at the top left corner of your main window), use
QApplication::setWindowIcon (const QIcon& icon) or QWidget::setWindowIcon(const QIcon& icon).
