I am making an app in python with PyQt5 on a MacOS computer.
This is my code:
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QWidget, QLabel
app = QApplication([])
window = QWidget()
window.setWindowTitle('Alarm App')
label = QLabel('Alarm App', window)
label.move(100, 50)
window.show()
app.exec_()
When I run the app the window appears and and I can see the icon on the dock,
the icon is the python launcher icon which is not icon I want, in the directory of the project I have an icon.png
.
I have tried:
window.setWindowIcon(QIcon("icon.png"))
But the icon still looks like this:
You need to use app.setWindowIcon
instead of window.setWindowIcon
. The following code works and does what you expect:
from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QApplication, QWidget, QLabel
from PyQt5.QtGui import QIcon
app = QApplication([])
# Using app instead of window to set the icon
app.setWindowIcon(QIcon("icon.png"))
window = QWidget()
window.setWindowTitle('Alarm App')
label = QLabel('Alarm App', window)
label.move(100, 50)
window.show()
app.exec_()
