I installed electron-prebuilt inside the main project root (locally).
I browse node_modules/electron-prebuilt/ and i see the electron app package.
Then i show package contents and i browser Resources/ where the app atom.icns can be found (i converted my atom.icns from an atom.png 1024x1024 file).
I replace atom.icns default icon with my own .icns naming it the same atom.icons
Then i move the app into another folder and then back to the original folder.
Pratically i followed these steps https://github.com/atom/electron/issues/654
Problem is that the icon does not appear i can only see a blank icon with a "disabled" figure on it like if the icon is missing.
Any idea?
I think you should use electron-packager suggested by Electron. Just pass your icon via icon option of electron-packager.
