Hi,

I've just noticed that in Windows 11 the taskbar icon for a game exported with NW.js is missing. Instead of the correct icon, generic icon is shown.

I've used, as usual, the WindowsIconUpdater.exe to change the icons and I've checked them also using Resource Hacker: everything seems correct (and it usually works fine with win 10).

Note that the icons are correctly shown in Explorer and in the windows frame of the game.

If I put the exe of the game on the taskbar, the icon is correct, but if I start the game, another icon (the generic one) appears.

On the left, the correct icon of the game on the taskbar. If I click on it, the game starts with another icon (the one on the right).

Any suggestion?

I found this solution - add these lines to package.json
"icons": { "256": "icons/icon-256.png" },

If you ticked "package assets" option on export, package.json will be inside package.nw archive.

I think Scirra need to update their export to include these lines automatically.
