How to Change ElectronJS App default Icon?

问题

I am new to electronjs. I want to convert an angular app to desktop. I could achieve it successfully but the problem is that the app icon is set to default electron and not the icon I provided as follows:

   win = new BrowserWindow({
    width: 600,
    height: 670,
    icon: `${__dirname}/dist/assets/imgs/logo.png`
  })

I changed the icon after building the app using resource hacker but what I need is to change it at build time in the correct way. what am I missing>

回答1:

In main.js, specify icon

win = new BrowserWindow({
 width: 800, 
 height: 600,
 icon: __dirname + '/Icon/Icon.icns'
})

You can also use helper url methods

const path = require('path')
const url = require('url')
const iconUrl = url.format({
 pathname: path.join(__dirname, 'Icon/Icon.icns'),
 protocol: 'file:',
 slashes: true
})

In the main process, you have to specify the icon path. In windows the icon has to be .ico or in mac .icns

const path = require('path')

      mainWindow = new BrowserWindow({
        width: 900,
        height: 700,
        icon: path.join(__dirname, './img/icon.ico');
        }
      })

You could change the icon depending on the platform your launching.

const iconPath = process.platform !== 'darwin'
    ? 'src/assets/icons/favicon.ico'
    : 'src/assets/icons/favicon.icns';

  // Create the browser window.
  win = new BrowserWindow({
    icon: path.join(__dirname, iconPath),
    x: 0,
    y: 0,
    width: size.width,
    height: size.height,
    webPreferences: {
      nodeIntegration: true,
      allowRunningInsecureContent: (serve) ? true : false,
      contextIsolation: false,  // false if you want to run e2e test with Spectron
      enableRemoteModule: true // true if you want to run e2e test  with Spectron or use remote module in renderer context (ie. Angular)
    },
  });

What you ccan do is insert a line of code in here:

WIN = new BrowserWindow = ({
    // ...
    icon: __dirname + '/relative/path/to/your/icon/file'
   // ...
});
