Stuck on an issue?

Lightrun Answers was designed to reduce the constant googling that comes with debugging 3rd party libraries. It collects links to all the places you might be looking at while hunting down a tough bug.

And, if you’re still stuck at the end, we’re happy to hop on a call to see how we can help out.

Sorry for this low-priority question, but I felt others might have this question too: In the docs I found how to add the icon (as in snippet below) - this integrates very nicely into the installer and the windows start menu shortcut for the app. (feels very native! btw: my platform windows7 python3.6)

However once the app is started, I get a generic symbol (I saw this icon in some other .net forms as well) on the left top (as in screenshot below) that also appears in the app switcher (alt-tab).

Is there already a way to use my provided icon there as well? (Sorry, in case I missed something obvious.)

    options={
        'app': {
            'formal_name': 'outlook_mail_exporter',
            'bundle': 'com.outlookmailexporter',
            'icon': 'images/icon',
        },

I never had issue with the icon as I’m not yet using Toga (I use briefcase on an existing project using Qt). It was @hdm-dt-fb with the issue.
