Add Icon to exe

[KIZILANDO]

Can you add something maybe in the json file if it's possible to put an icon in the exe ? This project is incredible but will be better with icons. Thanks !!

Thanks for the proposal.
You mean the icon shown on the desktop? Maybe possible. (I'm not sure tho.)

I'll add an option exe_icon to edit the icon data when embedding json.

{
    "exe_icon": "./myicon.ico",
    "gui": {
        
    }
}

I'll look into it after working on #24.

While this is not a native way of doing it, I successfully used this tool to embed an icon into a small BAT file that launches TUW, using a relative path so it can work as a "universal shortcut" for users, as long as folder structure doesn't change.
